THE BEST  COMEBACK LINE EVER!
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!

AMERICA, THE HOME OF THE  FREE
BECAUSE OF THE  BRAVE




Geronimo!

Well, it's a nice story anyhow.  Of course it isn't true.

I like what Powell said when he was asked about America's imperialism.

He said something to the affect: All we have ever asked for was land big enough for us to burry our dead as we fight for your freedom.

All the way, sir!!!
