Major General Peter Cosgrove is an ‘Australian treasure!’

So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

General Cosgrove:

We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

Female Interviewer:

Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?

General Cosgrove:

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 Cosgrove:

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 Cosgrove:

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.
