No, it's not true.

This was (apparently) an old Drill Sergeant, or whatever in the states about 5 years ago. I've only ever seen it in print form so it may well be just a joke that does the rounds.

Secondly, Cosgrove hasn't been in the army for ages now.

Fuck me, that's a bit rough. Especially for General Cosgrove.

Funny none-the-less. She did get owned.

Edit: Read johnny's post. Ah well, still funny..

Even if it's not true, it's damn hilarious!

 

[hubbie]

hilarious, but as if a quiet old bloke like cosgrove would say that.

 

[Mo]

owned very nice for an old man

 

['Ross]

Yer I really can't believe Cosgrove would say that, or even invite boy scouts to an army base to do shooting and other such things

Sounds like an insidious gun lobby ploy to propagate the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument via analogy.
