A California councilman and high school history teacher was caught on video disparaging the United States military and calling its members dumbshits who are not high-level thinkers.
Gregory Salcido is a current member of the Pico Rivera, California, city council.
Three profanity-laced videos surfaced on Facebook Friday of Salcido declaring to his students that members of the military are dumb people who joined because they were poor students and that they are the lowest of our low of the country.
Theyre the frickin lowest of our low, Salcido can be heard saying.
Three video of Salcidos comments were posted to Facebook by a family friend of the student who took it and they quickly went viral. The student, who wished to remain anonymous, is the son and nephew of military veterans and told the local paper, It was so disrespectful to my dad and my uncles and all veterans and those still in the military.
Throughout the three videos, Salcido can be heard using vulgar language to describe the military as failed students with no other options but to serve. Weve got a bunch of dumbshits over there. Think about the people who you know who are over there your freaking stupid uncle Louis or whatever, theyre dumbshits. Theyre not, like, high-level thinkers, theyre not academic people, theyre not intellectual people, theyre the freaking lowest of our low. Not morally, Im not saying they make bad moral decisions, theyre not talented people,
Watch:

Salcido is currently a member of the city council.
This is not Salcidos first brush with controversy. In 2012, he was accused of smacking one of his students who he said was disruptive.
The school district is investigating the videos and refused to comment on a personnel matter.
Salcido is currently on vacation, but posted a vague comment to his Facebook page about the controversy.
Other posts on Salcidos Facebook pages show he is not a fan of President Donald Trump.
On the official webpage for his city council job, Salcidos bio reads, Councilman Salcido credits his students for being a constant reminder that keeping a positive and optimistic disposition is necessary for a productive future.
Instant GOP 2018 commercial.
Interesting. I was in the school districts talented and gifted program. I tested as having a college level reading ability in the 4th grade. I enlisted into the Army my junior year of High School on the delayed entry program. I tested on the ASVAB at the top 1 percentile. I could have chosen any MOS the military had. That was where I screwed up. Because my uncle was a wealthy CPA I chose the finance corps.
I see someone who has never taken an ASVAB test, or worked on nuclear powered vessels, or worked as a cryptologist or...

...he’s making friends quickly
He’s such a dipshit that he wouldn’t know one if he saw one.
I’d like to meet him in an alley.
Another leftist once again projecting his own inner core, or lack therof.
Another unwitting member of the DunningKruger Club.
Told my children if they wanted to become public school teachers I wouldn’t pay for their colleg and would cut them from inheritance.....
Ummm, aren’t there a lot of minorities in the military?
What a cunt.
He obviously knows nothing of the military, of the fine men and women who serve with honor and integrity and bring great credit upon themselves, their assigned unit, and America.
You would be AMAZED at how smart some of those folks are. Even in, ESPECIALLY in, fields like Infantry, that are, supposedly filled with “dumb grunts.” Why is this, one might ask? Because sometimes people want to do incredible things, they want to prove to themselves they have what it takes.
This is reason #4,532 why getting rid of the draft was such a bad idea. If this clown had actually served a couple years he’d know all this, and kept his moth shut.
My guess is that this California councilman and high school history teacher himself is not much of a high-level thinker.
My guess is that he is on drugs that have smoked his brain.
nope, we have been trained to make it last if needed.
I could care less what these incompetent morons say or think. Its nice to know low life filth like that could never be able to stand the rigors of serving in our Military, let alone serving in a combat situation.
The military are the best of us.
You are not worthy to speak of them.
He just says out loud what most Democrats and leftists believe. Their professed love for us military and veterans rings very hollow. Very hollow.
I’ve mostly noticed that those who can’t succeed teach. Like a mechanic that worked for me briefly. He was a teacher at the mechanic’s school!
I have known some very good teachers, but the majority are losers.
I can only imagine what would be happening to a conservative teacher who went off like this about, oh, TEACHERS.
Stupid academics think they are the smartest and most important people in the world and deserve to be rich elites when the whole world goes to the socialist society they promote.
One last note; I served in the Army in intelligence, and those with whom I served were smart people.
This man must be punished for that. My father and uncles served honorably in WWII. I have a very close relative who scored 98 on the ASVAB. I can’t say more. Liberals will find me and kill me. Something has to be done about this disrespect. Now.
So who is a high level thinker?
Someone who doesn’t know which restroom to use?
