Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you'll love 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 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, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?



The radio went silent and the interview ended.



You gotta love the Marines
 
I've always been fond of "the jerk store called and they're out of you" as a good comeback line as well. Well played George, well played.

Its' funny, all right.

But its also conduct unbecoming an officer.
Officers don't insult women. Period.

Wasn't an insult, he was simply stating a fact...that's was no different than stating that a woman has breasts therefore she is able to breast feed. Whether she does or not is irrelevant.


and that's what marines are trained to do: think on their feet and hit the ground running....

You beat me to it. Amazing the tripe, such as this thread, some people suck up to.

Actually, there's a lot of things that are no worse or far fetched than this that turn out to be true.....

Like the one I heard while in chicago:

Guy calls into a talk show and he has to tell the hosts about his and his wife's last sexual encounter to win a prize. Then they call the wife and see if her story concurs....

So the guy says: we had sex this morning, in the kitchen before work

They call up the wife tell her about the contest:

They say: when did you last have sex with your husband

She says: this morning before work

They say: Where did you have it?

She says: ummm errrr ahhhh I don't know if I should say, honey? Is it ok if I tell them?

His says, it's ok honey, just tell them...

She says: I don't know, I don't think I should...

The hosts then chime in: oh come on, he told us already...so where did you have sex this morning?

She says: In the ass.....LOL
 
Eventhough the story may be a hoax there is little error with the officer's logic.

1. Kids are not born with or develop guns (as women do with breast).
2. The morale also seems to be "guns don't kill people, people do".

While I do believe in supporting the military and LE officers (most of the time :)). I do not believe people have the right to bear arms.
 
Good points don but I would let my kid drive my truck on a farm with me beside him showing him what to do. In fact, most farm kids know how to drive by the time the hit school......

Since people kill people, then keep people away from guns.

Same for weapons that cause
death and injury.

Throw out all your knives. And anything else that is 'dangerous'. Stop driving.
People kill people with bare hands....better get your straightjacket.

Seems to be a big hysteria over guns. I don't get it. I was raised around guns and I am very comfortable with law abiding citizens possessing them.

As Ted Nugent said---blaming guns for violence is like Rosie O'Donnell blaming a fork for being fat.
 
Yes...

...it was, and no Marine would say such a thing...which is part of the reason it was documented as a urban legend long ago. As this was played out it was meant to embarass and humiliate the interviewer...something a Marine would not do. It also purposely choses language intended to shock, something else a Marine would not do in a public forum.

Gawd, when will mental midgets stop believing and then posting everything they read / hear on the internet as truth??

ouch...some of you guys are way too serious. someone sent it to me and i thought it was funny and considering the nature of this board thought you might too. i didn't check the story for veracity (i wasn't submitting it to the bbc as a news items) and i especially didn't think it would turn into a big debate on marine-behaviour and whether it's the guns or the people who kill. sheesh...:rolleyes:

Pay no attention to MLAM. He thinks everything he posts is the God's own truth as well. He's currently debating Al Gore on who invented the internet in another thread.

Thanks slydevil...whether it was BS or not, it was good for a chuckle...;)

I totally agree. Marines and Army and Navy officers
just don't behave so. Especially when in uniform.
We do pride ourselves as being officers and gentlemen.
There may be cracks, but the foundation is solid.

Well spoken, my friend

You miss the point. You present a story as real, funny or not, be prepared to back it up.

Really. I've read many of his posts over the last couple years or so, and have never had the impression he was trying to lay down the law, but that's just my opinion.
