[p35]

This is an EXACT reproduction of an interview between a female broadcaster and a US Army General 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 : "We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting."

FEMALE 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."

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

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

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

This one has been around for a while, not sure if urban myth or actual.

But I know a few generals who would have said it!

[MitchSchaft]

It has been verified as an urban myth.

[Blackhawk]

Urban myth or not, I enjoy reading it every time it bobs back to the surface. :D

[DadOfThree]

Urban myth but valid point.

DITTO!
