General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently...
Read his reply to questions of a female interviewer regarding the sponsorship by his military headquarters to a Boy Scout Troop visiting the military Headquarters.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this!

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?”
