American Soldiers quotes from 1900
The Fantastic Flying Taco for Capt. David S. Elliot, of the 20th Kansas Volunteers, said in regards to the battle:
Howdy.
Making a video talking about the largely forgotten "Filipino-American war" that happened during the turn of the 20th century. Have a few quotes from American soldiers that I would like voiced. They're a bit racey, but do not contain any slurs.
I request that you have a good microphone, as the rest of the audio within the project will be at least decent.
"Talk about war being 'hell,' this war beats the hottest estimate ever made of that locality. Caloocan was supposed to contain seventeen thousand inhabitants. The Twentieth Kansas swept through it, and now Caloocan contains not one living native. Of the buildings, the battered walls of the great church and dismal prison alone remain. The village of Maypaja, where our first fight occurred on the night of the fourth, had five thousand people on that day—now not one stone remains upon top of another. You can only faintly imagine this terrible scene of desolation."
