It is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR)interview between a female broadcasterand US Marine Corps General Reinwaldwho was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troopvisiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teachthese young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL REINWALD:We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting.

FEMALE 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.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerousactivity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD:I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle disciplinebefore they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:But you're 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.
