For those that don't
know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an "Australian
treasure!"
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You'll love his reply to the lady who
interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you got to love this! This is one
of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion 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 COSGROVE:
We're going
to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible,
isn't it?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
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 COSGROVE :
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 COSGROVE:
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
