Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day
and
you have to read his reply to a reporter who interviewed him concerning guns
and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love
this!!!!

This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of a
National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US
Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop
visiting his military installation.

======================================================

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach
these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and
shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the
rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous
activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle
discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not
one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended. All over America, people were
thinking....

Let me be the first to say: urban legend.

I'll let someone else give him the news, but can we tack something up to ward off this mistaken posting every month?  [}:)]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's the urban legend that won't die!

Someone give me directions to the crypt so I can go drive a wooden stake through this story's heart. [X]

notice he only has 13 posts. he's new he doensn't know.


to FNG: this is an urban legend. it's not real. this same story is posted every couple of months by a new guy. this month it's you. too bad for you.

Hey, we were all newbies once- let's cut the guy/gal some slack.

Too bad the story isn't true, though. :^)

i;m not downing on him, i'm just saying. i forgot to put "hehe" after my post.

Can you imagine what would happen if it was true?

Barbara Boxer, Hillary!, and Fineswine would not let up until General Reinwald was buried in an unmarked grave.  

The Marine Corp would be disbanded as being innately hostile to women.

The Marines would institute a de-naziing like sensitivity training program, and women would occupy 52% of each paygrade from E1 to 0-8.
