The war in the Philippines was not one of our shining moments, was it? It came soon after the Civil War, when the feelings about it were still hot. Fighting in the Philippines probably focused the anger outward, kept the newly reUnited States stable. Maybe not. I'm glad war has changed, at least for the American military. I think we're stronger for having changed. And it has meant making the training and arming of our military much more sophisticated. Maybe some of this is close.

No, it wasn't, the US has made it's mistakes in it's past but we've managed to always overcome our mistakes and grow as a Country.
