Marine Corp's General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read 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 National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop he brought to his military base. FEMALE REPORTER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys while they're visiting your base? GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach! them climbing, canoeing, and shooting. FEMALE REPORTER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? GENERAL REINWALD: Not at all, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE REPORTER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL REINWALD: No we are very safety conscious and will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE REPORTER: 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.
Here's another one ... One sunny day in 2009, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he's been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, I would like to go in and meet with President Barack Obama. The Marine replied, Sir, Mr. Obama is not President and doesn't reside here. The old man said, Okay, and walked away. The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, I would like to go in and meet with President Barack Obama. The Marine again told the man, Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama is not President and doesn't reside here. The man thanked him and again walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying I would like to go in and meet with President Barack Obama. The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Obama. I've told you already several times that Mr. Obama is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand? The old man answered, Oh, I understand you fine. I just love hearing your answer! The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, See you tomorrow! SEMPER FI!!!!!!!
