Waltzing Matilda Last Post, by the Band of The Australian Army

As in all armies of the world humour is prevalent here is an excerpt from a radio Interview with General Cosgrove of the Australian Army (Be aware this in not PC)

Enjoy

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 gotta 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.

On That Note Please Show support by wearing red today Friday ! ! ! !

    I found this story amusing and give the General full marks for his responce to the interviewer. Some of the interviewers seem to keep pushing for an answer they want, not what the person being interviewed wants to say. This lady obviously didn't like the answer but she may have learned something from a seasoned people person like the General. I'm sure he has been around the tree a few times. Pray for our troops. Take care and God Bless. Rex
