We took the Philippines back from the Japs and freed the people. They have their country back because of the U.S.A. We built a naval base and then they kicked us out but kept the improvements for themselves. Then they asked us back when they got into trouble. A lot of US soldiers, sailors and airmen were killed in the Philippines. I repeat, we owe them nothing!
WE freed the Philippines from the Spanish and then told them they weren’t free, they were our colony ad we killed a few thousand of them to prove the point. We OWE then their property back and giving back three fu-—ng bells costs us nothing. You have an imperialistic mindset in a world where countries don’t want you controlling what they do and there is no legitimate reason for us to hold onto 3 bells. .
