Flexmoney Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 This is an exact replication of a National Public Radio interview between a female broadcaster and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. Interviewer: "So General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach?" General Reinwald: "We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting." 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." 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." Interviewer: "But you are equipping them to become violent killers." General Reinwald: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?" The radio went silent and the interview ended. Go Army.

BigDave Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Yeah, that is pretty good, but it is debunked here. Sorry man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Norman Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Debunked or not, this story like the ones where an 80 year old Granny castrates the guy that rapes her granddaughter are heartwarming. Stories like this have enough "truth" in them that we'd all like to say them to the right person in the right circumstance. THe "Truth" is inthe thought process, not in the actuality of the story.
