The best comeback line

Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on
the radio the other day and 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
National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a
female broadcaster and US Marine Corps 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, Ma'am, you're equipped
to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?
The radio went silent and the interview ended. -----------------------

"Shazam!: n - An encouragement/bravado/celebration of success in broadsiding or striking someone, usually in the groin, with a blunt object such as a bat, crowbar, or other oblong materials..."
I think this qualifies...

I believe that the line is actually attributed to Churchill, back in the day. I don't really remember what he was responding to, though. LCM JMac/DEF/VEN/VE/(=A=)(=SA=)(=MA)(=FOCE=)(MC1)(VC)

The idea of an honorable fight is a joke. What is honorable about harming another human? To win a fight, you have to forget about honor, forget yourself, and lose yourself in a cold burning fire. You have to strike until your target stops moving, smile as they bleed, and kill what soon will be no more then a red pulp a thousand times in your heart before you commit to violence.
