Watch: Alleged U.S. Soldier Taunts Iraqi Kids, Asks if They Have Gay Sex, Will Grow Up to be Terrorists

WRAL Raleigh reports on a video first posted on Facebook, thought to be shot by a U.S. soldier in Iraq, which shows the soldier taunting two young Iraqi children:

"The 30-second clip shows the two boys standing side by side on a dusty road, and the photographer asks them if they're gay and engage in homosexual acts. The boys smile and nod, but it's unclear whether they understand English.'Are you going to grow up to be a terrorist? Yeah! All right! Cool! Yeah, terrorists! Woo!' the photographer says. The boys smile and give a thumbs-up signal.'Are you going to plant IEDs?' the photographer asks. 'Yeah, awesome!'The older boy apparently realizes at this point that they are being mocked, and he holds down the younger boy's arm.The video was posted May 14 on the Facebook page of Robert Rodriguez and titled 'future gay terrorists.'Rodriguez describes himself on Facebook as a soldier living in Fairbanks, Alaska. An Army spokesman said a Spc. Robert Rodriguez is stationed at Fort Wainwright, outside of Fairbanks.It's unclear whose voice is heard on the video, but in posting the video to Facebook, Rodriguez wrote, 'I was bored in Iraq. So I kept myself entertained.'"

Soldiers who were shown the video expressed disgust at it, and said it does not represent the behavior of most service members.

"Army Staff Sgt. Veronica Jones, who is stationed at Fort Bragg, called the video a case of 'stupidity and boredom' that shouldn't reflect on most military members.'Somebody took advantage of those kids because they don't speak English. That's sad,' Jones said.'(This is) not a representation of soldiers,' she said. 'Not at all. I know plenty of soldiers who would not do anything like that.'"

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…
