Its your Attitude and not your Aptitude that determines your Altitude

Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed live on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the woman who interviewed him concerning guns and children.

Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this reply!!!


This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.



It is a portion of a live National Public Radio 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 & 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. Are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

You gotta love the Marines!-
