Navy Seal Andy's answer is so sensible.👍🏻👍🏻

[Knowallwithmyphone]

Andy Stumpf is one of the most sensible, articulate people I've ever listened to. I've heard him on many podcasts and he's such a well rounded, humble person that to me epitomizes what special forces should be! The kind of guy that never tells you what an absolute badass he is!! Thank you and your brothers and sisters!

[jerrycoronado]

The notion that Israel can prosecute this war without civilian casualties is inane at best. Their only recourse is to minimize those losses.

[starshockey]

Andy is not just a SEAL, he's a former Tier 1 (DEVGRU) guy who spent over a decade specializing in Hostage Rescue and Direct Action in combat.

Andy Stumpf, thoughtful and well spoken as always. These are the type of men we have in US Special Operations, as does the IDF. Hamas militants will wreak havoc but ultimately fail.

[dstaiert]

The innocent in gaza are hostages as well. Terrorists need them for shields, and for propaganda, if they die they die. These animals (hamas) or whoever are lost to humanity.

[WarInHD]

Highly recommend Andy Stumpf’s podcast “Cleared Hot”. For those wondering, he was in Gold Squadron in Devgru (Seal Team 6)

[reddae]

Very articulate. Well said. Great interview 👍🏻

[lydiatressler]

How much you learn not to let your plan be known

[nyernga]

Gasa in english translates to PARKING LOT

[helen]

Israel has Special Forces that are highly trained and covert fighters. They have the will and capability as our American Special Forces & SEALS.,

[mendoza]

if only our ruling class cared as much about americans as israel

[francisvantuyle]

The hostages are not alive in Gaza. If HAMAS is willing to behead infants. There is no reason to expect they have been kind and compassionate to the humans they have captured. All we can do is pray for their souls.

[Titlegal]

Thank you for a good interview. Good information.

[painkiller]

Andy us such a humble guy so I will announce him as a former operator of Dev Group (seal team 6). He is one of the best warriors America has ever had. Thanks Andy for your service. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

[tmacusmc]

Andy Stumpf is the epitome of a consummate professional.

[maggiepatterson]

We have weak, spinless generals now. so how much can we really do? And why is it ALWAYS THE US DOING, HELPING, SUPPORTING? Otger nations need to step up!

[howards]

Good on you Fox for providing clarity that other mainstream media are not.

[virgilnz]

This former SEAL makes a lot of sense when talking about rescuing the hostages held in Gaza by HAMAS.

and then also help all the other countries at the same time (I.e. Ethiopia)
