Quote:

   His famous exchange with ABC anchor caused a scandal back in 1994.
   FEMALE INTERVIEWER: 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.

Nice story. Total fabrication,

First, in 1994, Cosgrove wasn't even a Brigadier (yet), much less a General.

This story has a LONG and varied history, and has been around in one form or another at least since the start of the web.

We have never put this story in our article, because it is known as untrue. --JPF ''just another user'' 08:15, 14. Dez. 2010 (CET)
