In retaliation, the United States commander ordered his forces to kill every male older than 10 and turn the central Philippines island of Samar into a “howling wilderness.” American troops killed civilians, burned houses and destroyed food supplies.

And that is how you put an end to an insurgency.

We should have melted down the bells in WWI or WWII to cast shell casings.
