The War Against the Filipinos only lasted a couple of years. The Filipinos that had guns usually didn't have any ammunition. Mostly they fought us with knives, spears and stones. We declared it over on July 4th, 1902. Nice touch. We continued to slaughter anyone who showed any resistance to American rule, summarily, for another decade.
20% of the entire population died. Men, women and children. After that, they were all pretty friendly. At least on the main streets. In the daytime.
Nice place to kick back. Have a beer. Get laid. American servicemen, stationed there, referred to the local girls, devout Catholics, as LBFMs. Little Brown Fucking Machines. They treated them accordingly. They always paid them for their services, almost nothing. Classy.
