Here’s the Pentagon’s response to California teacher that bashed the military

The Pentagon responded to comments made by a California high school teacher that can be heard on video slamming the men and women who serve in the U.S. military.

Pentagon Spokeswoman Amber Smith said the comments made by El Rancho High School teacher and city council member Gregory Salcido were “uninformed.”

“I have seen maybe a few things that he said that were very uninformed, and I think that’s an excellent example of who we would like to connect with, and inform them with an accurate image of those who are serving and why they serve,” Smith said, The Washington Examiner reported.

Salcido’s comments stemmed from seeing a student wearing a Marines sweatshirt in class. A student in the classroom recorded the teacher’s rant on their phone and the video has now reached more than 6.7 million views.

“Think about the people you know who are over there. Your freakin’ stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumb sh*ts. They’re not high-level bankers. They’re not academic people. They’re not intellectual people. They’re the lowest of the low. They’re not talented people,” the teacher says in the video.

In the videos, the male teacher goes on a rant for several minutes. He says he doesn’t know how anyone ends up joining the military.

“It’s because you have no other options,” the teacher says.

While constantly berating the military and those who serve, the teacher also asks why anyone would “wear something you can’t even support.”

“Don’t you ever bring the military into this again,” he says. “We don’t let pimps into school. Is anyone interested in being a hoe? … They’re going to lie to you.”

American Military News spoke to the student’s mother, who confirmed that her son took videos of the teacher’s rant during class.

His mother’s friend, Kimberlie Flauto, posted the videos to Facebook asking the community to help them go viral.

The student who was wearing the Marine sweatshirt in the classroom said he was called out in class to find out why he was interested in joining the Marine Corps.

“And I told him it was a family tradition,” the student said, ABC News reported. “My dad’s done it, my two uncles have done it. And I just wanted to continue that tradition because it’s also something I wanted to do as a kid. And he said so if it was a family tradition to beat women, would you continue it too?”

Salcido has been removed from all committees on the Pico Rivera City Council, according to a local CBS station in Los Angeles.

“The city Council and residents of Pico Riviera are steadfast in the recognition that the contributions by those who have served or are currently serving our country via military service are respected and we are grateful for...

  1. Hell, just deport him. Actually regardless were these shits come from. If they have no respect send them to nations which they do support. I wonder how quickly academics and their flunkies like this tool would remember which country they owe everything? Slippery slope? Already on that in the exact wrong direction. Dump him in NK.
