Kristen Stewart Bashes The Military During An Interview For 'Camp X Ray:' 'Twilight' Actress Says Terrorists Are 'Misunderstood;' Questions Military Mentality [PHOTO]

Kristen Stewart has caused pandemonium once again - this time, in connection to her views on the military. In a recent interview with The Daily Beast, Stewart discussed how she has gained some political perspective while filming her newest movie, "Camp X-Ray." Among other things, Stewart pointed out how she thinks terrorists are "misunderstood."

According to TPNN, Stewart plays protagonist Amy Cole, a "simple" female soldier who makes unlikely friends with a Guantanamo Bay detainee after the events of 9/11. Supposedly, the film's director (Peter Sattler) intended for the movie to be largely apolitical in nature. However, it seems the film caused Stewart to see the American military in a new light.

When describing her character, Stewart stated, "All she wants to think is 'They did [this during] 9/11, they're bad, f*ck that, I'm going to do my job and I'm going to do it well,' but then she gets down there and just can't accept it; she can't conform to that... She's simple, not very smart, and really socially inadequate - but a good person. So, if you can sign up, put a uniform on, and erase yourself, you don't have to consider yourself anymore," conveying some of her thoughts concerning the mentality of the military.

Breitbart reports Stewart also thinks it is "crazy" to judge detainees at Guantanamo Bay so harshly, because they are people, too. She ranted, "It's a ridiculous idea for you to think that you know anything for sure in life-other than to take care of your fellow people. Where the f*ck do you get off thinking otherwise?

 These two people couldn't be from more different worlds and perspectives, and probably disagree fundamentally on most things, but there's a through-line for all of us-and that's what people forget, and that's what makes people capable of doing terrible things to each other. What makes you different from any other person that walks the earth?"

What do you think of Stewart's outburst?
