Post Dont ever try to outsmart the GENERAL !
For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an
'Australian treasure!'

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently.
You'll love his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns
and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have got
to love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It
is a portion of an ABC 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 went silent and the interview ended.

lmao... boy scouts will shoot a rifle sooner or later to get their rifle badge, or marksman badge. XD

Even teaching kids archery is just as dangerous as using a firearm.

And here is the blond moment for the reporter. Boy Scouts are older kids that are old enough to learn how to shoot a rifle along with marching with one. Cub Scouts wasn't mentioned so what little kids? =P
