I just automatically distrust Chilean political deaths involving helicopters, but I guess this might be different?

According to Rear Admiral D.P. Mannix, who fought the Moros as a young lieutenant from 1907 to 1908, the Americans exploited Muslim taboos by wrapping dead Moros in pig's skin and "stuffing [their] mouth[s] with pork", thereby deterring the Moros from continuing with their suicide attacks.

This is eerily reminiscent of the Moro Rebellion. If there’s one thing that should never have been repeated, it’s that.

It does feel different, for people who also have a taboo against pork to be doing it.

That’s the opposite of what they’re doing. Germanys being way too careful to not offend Israel right now, in my opinion. They’re upset that someone is saying Israel is approaching nazi levels, not that what’s happening now is worse than the holocaust nor are they minimizing the holocaust.

The Washington Post is owned by Amazon, as a comparison.

But no, it’s not very trustworthy, less so that TWP, imo.
