That's a great story, but unfortunately it's only a story. It's an Internet myth that's been circulating for awhile.

As for this American flag business, doesn't this mean we're all now obligated to swarm into the street and kill one another?

&#*$ing ragheads.

No, they do that.
Thats why they live in a third world murdering Marxist dictator run hell hole.
If it weren't for the west building the oil industry
over there they would still be living in tents and caves.

And they want to rule the world?
***snicker***
Like a little dog chasing a bus.
Wouldn't know what to do with it.

Re: It's an Internet myth

Claim: General John J. Pershing effectively discouraged Muslim terrorists in the Philippines by killing them and burying their bodies with pigs.

Status: Undetermined.


http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pershing.htm

Of note:

"In the 1939 film The Real Glory, Gary Cooper portrays Dr. Bill Canavan, an American Army doctor in 1906 Manila who "tries to protect the native population from ruthless invaders" (i.e., "Muslim fanatics"). At one point in the film, the Dr. Canavan character drapes a captured Muslim in a pigskin and proclaims that henceforth that all slain Muslim rebels will be buried in pig skins, thereby discouraging their "savagery" by threatening to prevent their entry into paradise."


Also, the memories of General Wood:

"Col. John J Pershing threatened the mullahs with . . . "splattering of pigs-blood on your houses and families and any who attack us and are killed will be buried in pig-skins." Consequently the mullahs made Pershing an Honorary Chieftan with little if any more trouble in his area of command."

Who cares if its a myth but there is some truth to the pig stuff. Read some history on Islam and pigs. If it fires up our troops (who need it right now) then so be it. I have many friends fighting in Iraq right now who think that the American people are against them thanks to the negative media coverage. It would help if Americans would email these guys and gals and tell them they support what they are doing. Morale is a huge issue right now and the media is beating them to death with all their lies. I know this personally. On a side note, I would like to tell you about the Fourth of July event being held at K-bay in Hawaii. Lynard Skynard will be preforming for FREE for our troops:-). Rock on!!!! I promise to take pics and post them .
