The Pentagon fired back Monday at a Southern California high school teacher who was recorded apparently ranting to students that members of the military were “dumb s—s” and “not intellectual people.”
Pentagon spokeswoman Amber Smith said the remarks by Gregory Salcido, the El Rancho High teacher who’s also a Pico Rivera city councilman and former mayor, were “very uninformed.”
According to the recording from a student at the Pico Rivera school earlier this month, Salcido referred to service members as failed students who had no other option but to join up.

Think about the people who you know who are over there — your freaking stupid uncle Louis or whatever, they’re dumbshits. They’re not, like, high-level thinkers, they’re not academic people, they’re not intellectual people, they’re the freaking lowest of our low.
