Study what General Pershing of the United States did to terrorists when caught. There was no more Radical Islamic Terror for 35 years!

This is what the Madman is referring to:

There's no indication that this ever actually happened.

And what he describes is a (fake) massacre of prisoners of war specifically designed to inflame the Muslim world.


He's really laying on the hate now.

1. Instead of days, his removal should now be hours away.

2. We already know he doesn't like POWs because those losers got caught, right? nt

5. But for some reason . . .

For some reason, he likes statues of people who took up arms against the United States, and wants to keep them on public lands of the United States. Sad!

6. Hey, the Confederates didn't get captured,

unless you count what happened at the very end. The individual armies surrendered and technically all those troops were "captured" and then paroled.

So basically every Confederate was a POW...
