A news story and shocking video surfaced Tuesday of two Marines stationed in Iraq allegedly mistreating and hurling a puppy into a gully, then laughing about it.

The disgusting video was initially posted to YouTube, but has since been taken down because of its violent content. The video can still be viewed on other media sites, however.

The two Marines in question were based in Hawaii, where authorities are investigating the incident and determining if the video is a hoax.

"We’re all outraged," a source at the base told FoxNews.com. "We’re probably more outraged than the general public. I hate that it happened."

There are bad apples in every walk of life. If the allegations are true, these two Marines are rotten to the core.
