Andy Stumpf

It's an occupation.

I understood the left and right boundaries.

I understood what I was there for.

I had buy-in on the mission and the why.

And I went and did my job to the best of my ability.

And I didn't hate my enemy.

Do I hate the ideology of who I would say is on the other side of the chessboard?

Yes, I hate the ideology.

It is my belief that that belief is insidious and destructive and not commensurate with society.

That's my belief.

Guess what their belief is?

Probably the opposite of that.

I didn't hate the people that we were fighting because at the end of the day,

I have respect for somebody who is willing to risk everything up to and including their life for what they believe in.

How can you not respect somebody wherever you are in the world, regardless of what their beliefs are?

And I'm not saying you have to respect their beliefs.

I am saying I respect the fact that anybody is willing to go to that point and fight for

What they believe in.

I'm not saying all beliefs, in my opinion, are created equal.

I don't think all beliefs should be permeated throughout the world because like I said, I believe some of them to be insidious and dangerous and predatory and all of those things wrapped up together.
