U.S. Soldier Taunts Iraqi 'Terrorist' Children in Facebook Video

by Caleb Johnson on May 25, 2010 at 03:20 PM

kidsA U.S. soldier stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska could be in hot water over a video posted on his Facebook page. According to the Associated Press, Specialist Robert A. Rodriguez is under investigation by the U.S. Army, and was recently ordered to remove the 30-second video, which featured an unidentified voice asking two Iraqi children if they were going to grow up to be terrorists, if they were gay and if they would do certain sexual acts. As of now, it's not clear whether or not Rodriguez shot the video. Of course, this comes at a bad time for the Army, the Pentagon just unblocked social networking sites for stationed soldiers at the beginning of March.

You can watch pieces of the clip along with a report from the North Carolina TV station that discovered it in the video after the jump. However, be warned that even an edited version of the clip is disturbing. Even if Rodriguez didn't shoot the video, posting the clip is still deplorable for somebody who's representing our country in a foreign land. [From: AP/Huffington Post]
