General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
Read his reply to the lady 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 an ABC radio interview between a female broadcaster and
General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop
visiting his military Headquarters.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these
young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and
shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
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 COSGROVE:
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 COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not
one, are you?
The radio cast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the
interview was over.
You know, this sounds like Malaysian parents' objections to
having their kids taught to shoot a rifle during their NS.....
And you know what's sad? They're only taught to aim and
shoot.... the instructors would have to load, cock and clean the
rifles for them......
