Teacher Tells the Truth about Soldiers and Recruiters
January 30, 2018
A California teacher went on a tirade against the military in his classroom. He called recruiters liars and pimps and termed soldiers the freaking lowest of our low, and some other choice things. Good for him. Someone else needs to say what needs to be said about the military.
Update: A Four-star general, David Perkins, went on Fox to “instruct” the teacher about how great the military is. But first in the video clip is retired general John Kelly, Trump’s chief of staff. He said the teacher “ought to go to hell.” Wow, eternal torment as a punishment for criticizing the military.
