That was Pompeo, and you are quoting out of context.

@asodcficc Yes. But quoted out of context. He was addressing new cadets. He was saying, West Point and Marine's motto always had been "Never lie or tolerate anyone who does". Yet, when he was at CIA, their works involved lying and training agents to lie(the quote), which was in conflict with what he believes. Then, he continues to admit that ideals does not always work in reality, because there are some really evil deeds being carried out by nasty groups, so U.S. needs to have different approach to deal with different groups to stop inhumane atrocities going around the world. He was telling them they will have to face the same internal conflict at some point, and they'll have to decide what's the right thing to do. Books and ideals can't teach them what actions are right. It's up to them to be good men.
