People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it complained in a Nov. 28 letter to Army leaders about the incident.

Military commanders in Afghanistan condemned the video, a spokesman for the International Security Assistance Force said in an email. He said the Army Criminal Investigation Command, or CID, opened an investigation after the video surfaced in November, the Army Times reported.

?It goes without saying that the behavior displayed on the video is not in keeping with Army values,? George Wright, an Army spokesman at the Pentagon, was quoted as saying by the Army Times.
