Say it how it is General

Radio interview quote from Marine Corps General Reinwald and a female radio host. He wants to host some boy scouts at the training center for some practice exercises:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

Semper Fi baby.

UPDATE: Turns out the interview is a fake (see comments). Fake, yes, but still really funny.

  3. Try being polite before you correct someone's post. :-)

    Even as a hoax, I find that funny. Using the same logic, I am equipped to take over the world!

  5. Yes Dave, if you don't mind, would you pacify Asia for me? I have a pretty good hand on India, but China and Indonesia are giving me fits.
