I just received an Internet story celebrating the excesses of Gen. Pershing in Philippines.

Whenever anyone receives such rumors I'd recommend a quick verification on sites such as Snopes.

Claim: General John J. Pershing effectively discouraged Muslim terrorists in the Philippines by killing them and burying their bodies with pigs.

The bit about "letting one go" is an old one, and has been used in films and novels (Usual Suspects was a recent example...)
