A Marine Corp general was being interviewed on NPR about his sponsorship of a Boy Scout troop at his base:

REPORTERETE: So, General, what things are you going to teach these young boys while they’re visiting your base?
GENERAL: We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, and shooting.
REPORTERETE: Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?
GENERAL: Not at all, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
REPORTERETE: Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL: No we are very safety conscious and will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
REPORTERETE: But you’re equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL: 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.
