>Throughout the war, American soldiers and other witnesses sent letters home which described some of the atrocities committed by American forces. For example, In November 1901, the Manila correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger wrote: "The present war is no bloodless, opera bouffe engagement; our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, children, prisoners and captives, active insurgents and suspected people from lads of ten up, the idea prevailing that the Filipino as such was little better than a dog..."[107] Reports were received from soldiers returning from the Philippines that, upon entering a village, American soldiers would ransack every house and church and rob the inhabitants of everything of value, while those who approached the battle line waving a flag of truce were fired upon.[108]
How did Amerikkka get away with this?
>A soldier from New York: "The town of Titatia was surrendered to us a few days ago, and two companies occupy the same. Last night one of our boys was found shot and his stomach cut open. Immediately orders were received from General Wheaton to burn the town and kill every native in sight; which was done to a finish. About 1,000 men, women and children were reported killed. I am probably growing hard-hearted, for I am in my glory when I can sight my gun on some dark skin and pull the trigger."[109]
Americans have been rotten from the start.
WTF is wrong with Americans?
>Corporal Sam Gillis: "We make everyone get into his house by seven p.m., and we only tell a man once. If he refuses we shoot him. We killed over 300 natives the first night. They tried to set the town on fire. If they fire a shot from the house we burn the house down and every house near it, and shoot the natives, so they are pretty quiet in town now."

That’s why when a burger ask if I feel bad for going to their country and dumping a lot of kids I answer
NO! Of course I don’t feel bad, is the punishment that they deserve for the wrong doing of my Phillipino brothers, of my BLACK brothers, of my Chinese brothers.

lmao rekt
It's war. War isn't supposed to be nice. I don't think you'd find a cunt on the planet that hasn't done nasty things in wartime.
That war was hell on earth honestly.
Not only did nobody hold back, but there was also disease outbreak that killed a quarter million.
Additionally American generals were incredibly bloodthirsty during that war. And most of the atrocities were by there orders.
With the most famous being Jacob H. Smith.
Though Philippines were far from innocent in that war.
Philippine-American war is probably the most brutal war US has ever fought in
>for I am in my glory when I can sight my gun on some dark skin and pull the trigger
The fighting in the Pacific in WWII was pretty bad.
>Philippine-American war is probably the most brutal war US has ever fought in
Did you miss Vietnam War, Korean War, and the war with Japan?
Filipino are NOT CHINESE. YOU ASSPAIN SHIT CONVERTED THEM FROM THE FEARED MUSLIM MONARCHS TO KEKTHOLIC SLAVES AND REDUCED THEM TO SEX TOURIST CUNTHOLE. HOW DARE YOU TO SPEAK THEY'RE YOUR BROTHERS?
I took all of them into consideration.
Philippine American War, and to a lesser extent Spanish-American War were incredibly brutal.
It's mostly forgotten how bad they really were. But they were, at the very least, on par with Vietnam.
The fighting was just as ruthless, but the lack of modern medicine, the disease in those wars was by far the worse.
Also, the American Civil War. The last war fought on American soil and the only war in history that ended up with over a million dead Americans (both soldiers and civilians).
There's a reason why John Browning loved high caliber weapons, and that reason is Filipinos
Aside from Sherman's activities and Petersburg that war wasn't particularly brutal
the diseases which killed most people was brutal
Yeah, it't crazy. We used a lot of the stategies from the Filipino-American War during 'Nam.
Explain?
>Aside from Sherman's activities and Petersburg that war wasn't particularly brutal
Are you kidding? Some of the bloodiest battles in American history happened during the Civil War.
Do Americans really do this?
