The U.S. Army is investigating a video a soldier posted on his Facebook page that depicts two Iraqi children being taunted and referred to as gay terrorists.
"The conduct in the video is disgraceful and clearly inconsistent with the high standards expected of every Soldier," a statement from U.S. Army officials in Alaska said.
"The Soldier was directed to remove the video from the website," the statement added.
In the video, the two young boys are shown standing next to each other on a dirt road. The person who appears to be holding the camera asks them if they are homosexual and perform homosexual sex acts. The boys nod but it is unclear if they speak English.
The narrator then asks the boys if they are going to grow up to become terrorists and if they are going to plant roadside bombs. The boys give the thumbs up sign. But then one boy seems to become aware that he is being mocked. He puts down his thumbs up sign and pushes the others boy's arm down as well.
The army said it will "take appropriate action based on the findings of the investigation."
The soldier, posted at Fort Wainwright, Alaska, was not named in the military statement. CNN has not been able to reach the soldier.
CNN-affiliate WRAL said the video, titled "future gay terrorist," was posted by a soldier who said he was from Fairbanks, Alaska. WRAL identified the soldier as Spc. Robert Rodriguez. CNN could not reach Army officials to independently confirm the soldier's identity.
The video has caused a stir in some military circles far away from Alaska.
Army Staff Sgt. Veronica Jones, stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, called the video a case of "stupidity and boredom."
"Somebody took advantage of those kids because they don't speak English. That's sad," Jones told WRAL. "(This is) not a representation of soldiers. Not at all. I know plenty of soldiers who would not do anything like that."
Then how can you avoid the punishment, if you disbelieve, on a Day that will make the children grey-headed?

I think it is in fact an adequate representation of the scum they send there, I expect nothing but vile acts, mostly of degrading sexual nature, voyeuristic, sado-masochistic crap.. what else can beer chugging, pork bingeing turds with fifth grade education do? their life runs mostly around mocking others, degrading them, and then wearing it as a badge of honor and being applauded by like minded turds!

Look at the topics that always interest them!! sex culture
That is their level of mentality and morality....sick people!!! Just reminded me of their dirty acts in Abu-Ghuraib prison in Iraq few years ago
let em grow up and send those soldiers back in body bags
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels, that He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into Light: and He is Full of Mercy to the Believers. [Quran {33:43}] www.QuranicAudio.com www.Quran.com

These soldiers are soo ignorant and shameless, some of them actually make excuses such as "War creates these kind of behaviors in soldiers and etc" I have seen some other videos where soldiers taunted Iraqi kids by making the kids cuss and giving them money for it etc. The kids did not know what the soldiers were teaching them obviously cause they do not speak English. May Allah raise these kids to be rigtheous and make them among the Mujahideen who fights oppression.

That soldier may have been a douche-bag, but it's not like your statement is a morally superior one.
what would be morally superior? Something that you say? What an arrogant ape.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed
That soldier was just messing around. Aadil77 said and I quote:"let em grow up and send those soldiers back in body bags," who in their right mind would think that a good response to actions of a "childish" soldier would be killing that soldier. The most that soldier will get is a slap on the wrist, perhaps a demotion.

Guess what a soldier's primary job is beyond abu-gharib voyeurism and mocking children? ahhhhhhh yes.. if you don't want your boys to come back in body bags whether over mocking small children or merely being present without an invite in a sovereign nation then don't send them over there.. What do you expect during war? wreaths or roses..

That soldier was more than just what you said, the soldier's behavior was so degrading towards the little kid who have no clue what he is talking about. Dont talk about morals when Israeli lobbyists created this war and sent thousands of soldiers to kill innocent civilians and destory a country's infrastructure. The most demoralized people are from Western governments who create so much corruption among people by proposing indecency in its media, schools, and even in its churches.

Does she even realize how dumb she sounds?
"plenty of soldiers" is not good enough, soldier!

I guess atheism and NOT thinking with clear head are mutually inclusive.
News flash! US soldiers invaded and are now occupying Iraq.
And if I were those iraqi boys, of course I would aspire to one day send back the very soldier in body bag to liberate my own country.

These people have a third grade education.. and they are trying to water it down as 'stupidity' if only like it is downtime and they are bored, haven't raped or killed any Iraqis today so let's harass some five year olds.. I wonder if these children in the video are orphaned.. it is so unfortunate there is no one to accompany them so they can be bullied by scum with gun.
I had this patient once who killed a seven year old iraqi boy she claimed in self-defense after he was charging at her, obviously they'd abused and tortured his family.. may Allah swt dam n her and those like her to kingdom come..

A seven year old boy? SubhanAllah..Ameen to your dua..What was she protecting herself from? a rock or what?

The actions of those soldiers seem degrading to me and you, but not for those kids, because they didn't speak English, they didn't know what was going on in the first place. Had they spoken English, it would have been far more degrading for them.
How are Western governments proposing indecency in media, schools and churches ?

yeah she said she was 'just torn up about it'' an wanted something for her PTSD, my attending prescribed her some antidepressants which are also used for chronic pain.. but I pray to God that what she has done eats her up alive until the day of her death and may it be soon insha'Allah and from there to eternal hell!

I can respect a person for wanting to take up arms because he/she thinks his/her country has been invaded, but I can't respect a person who says that a soldier who makes a bad joke should get killed for making that joke.

and you know this because (you are psychic)? studies show that very little emphasis is based on what is being said, and that the tone of voice and body language make up the largest component of how words are perceived -- that can be evinced from the video itself where the older child realized something was amiss by holding the other kid's hands down..
well this woman is deaf it is ok for me to make her the brunt of my attacks because she can't hear me anyway!
the hilarity!
