Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed by a female broadcaster on radio and this is an extract from the interview.
The General was sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop he had brought onto the base.
REPORTER
So what are you going to teach these young boys while they are visting your base?
GENERAL
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing and shooting.
REPORTER
Shooting! Thats a bit irresponsible isn't it?
GENERAL
Not at all, they'll be properly supervised on the firing range.
REPORTER
Don't you admit this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL
No, we are very safety conscious and will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they ever touch a firearm.
REPORTER
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
