I sort of prefer
General *Howling Jake* Smith's methods. Including the train, equipped with a steam-engine-powered flamethrower, with which his troops simply burned out every Filipino village along the tracks.

Thanks for sending. Hadn't heard of Howling Jake Smith. Wounds and lead in him from Shiloh and Cuba. Must have been a real warrior.
I lament that his stock would not be able to do what he did now. . a pre-Patton kind of guy.
