Australian Major General

I heard this on the radio yesterday and thought you might like it.
The only problem I have no clue as to how to link to it. You can go to www.millionface.com to find it. It is a transcript of a interview with Major General Peter Cosgrove about teaching boy scouts how to shoot a rifle.

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 gotta 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.

Alas a dupe, but fun nonetheless.

I got that in an email a long time ago, still good. I am not so sure it is a real transcript though.

That story has been around the internet for at least 5 years and attributed to at least a dozen different military people.

Hard to enjoy something you know is false.
