"Australian treasure!" General Cosgrove
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.
