The story about Gen. Pershing burying dead Muslim combatants with pig lard is widely known as a myth. But is there no instance of this ever occurring during the American presence in the Philippines under a different leader?
According to Rear Admiral D.P. Mannix, Americans did attempt to exploit Muslim taboos and bury their bodies with dead pigs, years before Pershing became Governor. Is this also a myth?
