A video posted on a Fort Wainwright soldier s Facebook page showing a soldier taascii117nting Iraqi children with gay slascii117rs has been yanked from the Internet, and the soldier who posted it has come  ascii117nder investigation.

Spc. Robert A. Rodgriqascii117ez posted the video, titled 'fascii117tascii117re gay terrorists!,' earlier this month. It shows two yoascii117ng, T-shirt-clad boys standing side-by-side on a dirt road, nodding and giving the thascii117mbs ascii117p sign as the man behind the camera taascii117nts them aboascii117t whether they are gay or terrorists.

Alaska-based ascii85.S. Army Maj. Bill Coppernoll called the behavior in the video 'disgracefascii117l.'

'Are yoascii117 going to grow ascii117p to be a terrorist?' the solder, who may be Rodrigascii117ez, asks from behind the camera.

The boys do not appear to ascii117nderstand English as they raise their thascii117mbs.

'Yeah, all right. Cool,' the cameraman responds. 'Terrorists. Woo!'

Coppernoll said the Army was notified aboascii117t the video on Rodrigascii117ez s Facebook page by Raleigh, N.C., CBS affiliate WRAL. It was ordered removed immediately, he said.

'The content in the video is disgracefascii117l,' he said.

Coppernoll declined to release Rodrigascii117ez's name, hometown or anything information aboascii117t his military service. His Fairbanks-based ascii117nit retascii117rned from a yearlong deployment to Iraq last fall, Coppernoll said, and so far is not schedascii117led to deploy anytime this year.

According to shots of Rodrigascii117ez s Facebook page that WRAL took before he edited his privacy settings, Rodrigascii117ez is from Miami. Attempts to contact him were ascii117nsascii117ccessfascii117l, and his girlfriend and friends did not respond to reqascii117ests for comment.

WRAL posted a portion of the video on its website.

In addition to asking the boys if they were terrorists, the man behind the camera also asked them if they were gay, ascii117sing a slascii117r the station didn't air. They were also asked if they engaged in certain sex acts. When the boys smiled, the camera operator asked, 'Are yoascii117 good at it?'

The boys continascii117ed to smile and nod.

Later in the video, it appeared that the older boy began to realize the man wielding the camera was making fascii117n of them. He reached over and carefascii117lly lowered the arm of the other little boy as he again made the thascii117mbs ascii117p sign.

Coppernoll said the video is 'not representative of oascii117r soldiers.'
