Go Army!!!!! this is funny.

The Army did a great job at training me when I was young. I was 17 years old. C-4, claymores, grenades,machine guns... I enjoyed it all

Oh you play paintball too Lord Shield? It's cool isn't it? We have a pretty decent paintball range here. I'm more of a now you see me, now you don't player though. Not a commando.

Moni if you've been shot by a few bb's play some paintaball! They dont' sting as much as people say they do. (As long there isn't an idiot who freezes them. Yeah some people do that!) It only hurts for awhile. Once i've been shot in the neck so I know. Just don't get shot in the mask. I probably don't have to tell you this, but paint tastes terrible. And last but not last, the paint they use is easily washed off clothes. Although I didn't expect you to wear a dress or anything. Just thought you'd like to know! It's a fun game, try it!

Marine Corp taught me to shoot. The thing most stressed was SAFETY, which the General was trying to get across to the interviewer who failed to figure that out. Gotta love that guy, Army or not

Originally posted by Sazerac: IMO, she was the one being an @$$hole, not him! Assuming this transcript to be true (which I think it was), it's a perfect example of a member of the media trying their best to manipulate a story off of society's current fears...a rather disgusting ploy, if you ask me.

Ever been in the Army Saz?

Come off it, don't blame the media for asking contentious questions.

As a journalist myself (I know, I know) I get sick of the whole:

'You'll only make it up anyway' argument-actually we don't,
and 'Its all the media's fault' again no it isn't (well not normally)

Our job, although the line blurs occasionally, is to ask the questions people want to hear answers to. If that female interviewer had failed to ask whether kids were being turned into gun totting psychpaths she wouldn't have been doing her job properly.

Most young people don't give a toss what scouts are doing but there are segments of the population that do-mums for example, and you have to cater for as much of the population as possible in my industry.

Yes, It annoys you sometimes when you have to ask boneheaded, down right rude or contentious questions but don't forget that a lot of the time if it had not been for the media exposing the powers that be over terrible human rights abuses, and other assorted dodgy going ons things would never have been changed for the better.

The media can be a powerful force for good, admittedly newspapers do have their own agendas but we are not the ones that start wars, murder people or hike taxes up we just report on those doing it. So give us a break please.


But yes the Army comeback was very very funny. I doubt he'l be giving any more radio interviews in the near future though.

I doubt he wanted to in the first place

Thanks for a good laugh. Enjoyed it.
