General Cosgrove was interviewed on TV recently.
Please read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws, you have to love this!
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
This is a portion of an ABC interview between a female journalist, Leigh Sales and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.
LEIGH SALES:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
We ae going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
LEIGH SALES:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they will be properly supervised on the rifle range.
LEIGH SALES:
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.
LEIGH SALES:
But you are equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you are equipped to be a prostitute, but you are not one, are you?
The broadcast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.
