If I remember correctly, we didn't wring our hands over the sensitivities of the combattants in the Philippines, and we didn't have the overwhelming preponderance of the news media motivated against the expedition.
Care to bet?
I'm not a betting man, but I think I remember the story about Gen. Pershing having a number of Mohammetans executed and buried with pig renderings, and sending one or two survivors back to tell the other Mohamheads.
Doesn't sound very "sensityve" to me.
