Unfortunately it will be hard for our youth to achieve this kind of skill, since they are being told continually about the evils of the "gun".

Now a Christian from Texas is doing the same. Kicking tail!

Because his church opposed war, he asked for conscientious objector status . . . York immediately returned fire and with his marksman eye began picking off the German gunners. He then fearlessly charged the machine-gun nest. Several of the other surviving Americans followed his lead and probably contributed to the final total of 25 enemy killed. With his automatic pistol, York shot down six German soldiers sent out of the trench to intercept him.

He sure makes for a lousy pacifist!

I was afraid I'd lost this letter. But luckily I was able to dig it up. Yall will enjoy this:

I was listening to the radio the other day, and I heard one of the all-time best comeback lines in my life.

Note: This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these 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 dangerous activity to be teaching children?"

GENERAL REINWALD: "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 REINWALD: "Well, you're equipped to be prostitute, but you're not one, are you?"

The radio went silent and the interview ended.
And all I could think was, "Go Army!"
