On a local radio talk show I heard a bit of information I didn't know about General John J. Pershing, the commander of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I. This sounds like a good idea for us to do with insurgents.

It seem that in the early 1900s America was having troubles with Muslim insurgents in the Philippines. The War Department dispatched General John Pershing to deal with the problem. When Pershing arrived he ordered his men to capture some of the Muslims, they captured 50.
Pershing had the Muslims tied to posts, then he ordered his men to slaughter a pig in front of the Muslims. Next he had his men dip 49 bullets in the pigs blood and shoot 49 of the Muslims. Pershing then ordered his men to throw the bodies into a deep pit and they did, he told them to next take the pig's remains and bury them on top of the Muslims, this they also did. After he had completed this Pershing ordered that the last Muslim be released, and from that day forward the US didn't need to worry about Muslims in the Philippines.
