Many
young Southern men and (alas) women are still willing to swell the ranks of the
American Empire’s war machine, thinking they are undertaking a noble endeavor
in some way. But this is not the
Confederate Army, led by honorable Christian generals who were guided by high
principles. Since the days of Lincoln’s War, it has
been an army bent on robbery, rape, and wrack.
The South tasted first of this cup, then the North American Indians, the
Philippines, Europe in WWI and WWII, and now Libya, Iraq, and elsewhere in the
so-called ‘War on Terror’ (War OF Terror, as someone said well of it). American actions in the Philippines may
help dispel some of the propaganda surrounding the Messiah Nation’s efforts to
be a ‘force for good’ all over the globe:
. . .
It
was the islands Washington coveted as an
outpost for the projection of military power into Asia.
The Filipinos were an encumbrance.
"We
do not want the Filipinos," declared the San Francisco Argonaut in 1898.
"We want the Philippines.
The islands are enormously rich, but unfortunately they are infested with
Filipinos. There are many millions there and, it is to be feared, their
extinction will be slow."
Fortunately,
the Filipinos are not extinct, despite the U.S. Government’s devoted efforts.
In a 41-month period from 1898 to1902, roughly 20,000 Filipino guerrillas were
killed. At least ten times that number of civilians were slaughtered as well.
Some chroniclers estimate that more than two million Filipinos were liberated
of their mortal cares during America’s
lethal application of muscular Christianity in the islands.
“The
United States
later fought World War II over a period of fifty-six months with approximately
four hundred thousand American deaths,” observes Bradley, who has written two
acclaimed books about the Pacific War (Flags
of our Fathers and Flyboys).
“So Adolf Hitler and Hideki Tojo, with their mechanized weaponry, killed about
the same per month — seventy-two hundred — as American civilizers did in the Philippines.”
Among
the benefits of Christian culture the American Army shared with the Filipinos
was the ancient ritual called the “water cure.”
During
World War II, American P.O.W.s were subjected to waterboarding by Japanese
interrogators who, as convicted war criminals, experienced the long drop to the
end of a hangman’s rope.
Decades
earlier, American soldiers sent to “pacify” and “civilize” the archipelago —
"We come as ministering angels, not as despots," warbled Senator
Knute Nelson in praise of that noble venture — would chant a marching cadence
called “The Water Cure” in happy anticipation of their ministry:
Hurray,
hurrah. We bring the Jubilee. Hurray, Hurrah. The flag that makes him free.
Shove in the nozzle deep and let him taste of liberty. Shouting the battle cry
of freedom!
We’ve
come across the bounding main to kindly spread around Sweet liberty whenever there
are rebels to be found. So hurry with the syringe boys. We’ve got him down and
bound. Shouting the battle cry of freedom!…
Oh
pump it up in him till he swells like a toy balloon. The fool pretends that
liberty is not a precious boon. But we’ll contrive to make him see the beauty
of it soon. Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
Grover
Flint, a first lieutenant in the 35th Infantry
who served in the Philippines
for a year and a half, later described how America’s Ministering Angels used
the “water cure” to fill Filipinos to the brim with liquid liberty:
“He
[the victim] is simply held down, and then water is poured into his face, down
his throat and nose from a jar, and that is kept up until the man gives some
sign of giving in or becoming unconscious, and when he becomes unconscious he
is simply rolled aside and he is allowed to come to…. His suffering must be
that of a man who is drowning, but he can not drown.”
Such
treatment was appropriate, insisted Gen. Frederick Funston, whose troops — with
his knowledge and support — executed helpless POWs, tortured civilians,
massacred non-combatants, and raped countless women.
The
Filipinos, explained this exponent of pagan barbarism, are “an illiterate,
semi-savage people, who are waging war, not against tyranny, but against
Anglo-Saxon order and decency.”
The
“decency” of which Funston spoke so piously was famously displayed in a village
called LaNog, the entire population of which was murdered on the orders of
Captain Fred McDonald — except for a single comely mestizo woman who was
gang-raped by McDonald’s officers and then turned over to the enlisted men for
similar treatment.
A
particularly vigorous display of “Anglo-Saxon decency” took place in March
1906, when the Army
mowed down roughly 1,000 Muslim men, women, and children who had taken refuge
in the crater of an inert volcano.

Given
this history, the latest revelation should surprise no one: Sexual abuse of children has been ongoing at
at least one American base in Afghanistan
(which, if only one, is still one too many):
KABUL, Afghanistan
— In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father
what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he
could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the
base.
“At night we can hear them screaming, but we’re not
allowed to do anything about it,” the Marine’s father, Gregory Buckley Sr.,
recalled his son telling him before he was shot to death at the base in 2012.
He urged his son to tell his superiors. “My son said that his officers told him
to look the other way because it’s their culture.”
The policy of instructing soldiers to ignore child
sexual abuse by their Afghan allies is coming under new scrutiny, particularly
as it emerges that service members like Captain Quinn have faced discipline,
even career ruin, for disobeying it.

Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies

We
ask all of our Southern brothers and sisters who are considering joining this
demonic horde: Find another outlet for
your desire to defend your fatherland.
If at all possible, find a way to band together to protect the Souð from
her foemen. For you will not find anyone
like the great Lee in the neo-Puritan Army of Washington City today, who wrote
to his soldiers before entering Yankee territory,
"The
commanding general considers that no greater disgrace could befall the army,
and through it our whole people, than the perpetration of the barbarous
outrages upon the unarmed, and defenseless and the wanton destruction of
private property that have marked the course of the enemy in our own country.
... It must be remembered that we make war only upon armed men, and that we
cannot take vengeance for the wrongs our people have suffered without lowering
ourselves in the eyes of all whose abhorrence has been excited by the
atrocities of our enemies, and offending against Him to whom vengeance
belongeth, without whose favor and support our efforts must all prove in
vain."
