This is a portion of an American National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female interviewer and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. Incidentally, the battle of words took place on a Tuesday.
So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
- We' re going to teach the Boy Scouts climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
- I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
- I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
- Well, you're equipped to be a whore , but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended.
Hehe as I've always heard, "never let the truth get in the way of a good story".

An Australian ends up next to a British soldier in the trenches during World War II.
The British soldier turns to him and says, "Good to see you, mate. Have you come here to die?"
To which the Australian replies, "No, mate, I came here yesterday!"
