FAIRBANKS, Alaska, May 25 (UPI) -- U.S. Army officials say they're investigating a video that reportedly shows a U.S. soldier taunting two Iraqi boys.
The 30-second video, called "future gay terrorists," was posted on the Facebook page of Spc. Robert Rodriguez, who served in Iraq and now is stationed at Fort Wainwright, outside Fairbanks, Alaska, GoPride.com reported Tuesday.
During the clip, a voice off-camera asks two boys who appear not to understand English whether they engage in homosexual acts and plan to be terrorists, WRAL-TV, Raleigh, N.C., reported.
In posting the video, which since has been taken down, Rodriguez wrote on Facebook, "I was bored in Iraq. So I kept myself entertained."
A North Carolina soldier who knows Rodriguez shared the video with friends, who contacted WRAL-TV last week.
Army spokesman Maj. Bill Coppernoll said the video is under investigation.
"The conduct portrayed in the video is disgraceful and clearly inconsistent with the high standards we expect of every soldier," Coppernoll said in a statement.
Rodriguez was not available for comment.
