> 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.
