MontefeltroPro Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Highly decorated General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. This is a transcription of an ABC interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters: Female interviewer: So, General Cosgrove, 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. Lady: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it? General: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range. Lady: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? General: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. Lady: But you're equipping them to become violent killers. General: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? ...the radio went momentarily silent and the interview ended.

MontefeltroPro Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Funny, certainly, but just another urban myth..... http://www.snopes.com/military/reinwald.asp Neat! How did you find this stuff? I just thought the guys on the forum would enjoy it, but your post put a whole different slant on the veracity of it all. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunNoob Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Interesting and apparently, a very effective response to an otherwise ridiculous question. Stuff like this always makes me think of automobile safety for some reason. I mean, after any necessary "training," cannot any "ill-minded" individual still cause just a much death and destruction behind the wheel of an automobile as they could with any "deadly" firearm? Hmm..I guess you could say that anybody with a drivers license could be considered "trained to kill." Blah... Either way, I like that guys response (Ill have to remember that one).

Duggan Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Its a good one, but I always preferred the "this is my safety" response, while wiggling your trigger finger at them. It works better against glock haters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Slugo Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 At best the story may be a mildly amusing parable. But it looks more like propaganda to me. When it comes to topics concerning "gun safety", I prefer the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
