Aero: I don't know if the story is true, but elements of it definitely are. General John J. ("Black Jack") Pershing was definitely posted in the Philippines at the time and was noted for his military achievements there.

<<On June 24, 1909 a son, Francis Warren, was born at Cheyenne, Wyoming. He was the only one of the Pershing Children to be born in the United States.

In October of the same year, Pershing, now recovered from his illness, sailed to the Philippines to take charge of the Moro Province as Military Governor. Under his leadership, the hostile Moros were disarmed. Peace had gradually restored.>>

Nevertheless, there is a bit of speculation on the net that the Muslim terrorist element of this story is a hoax.
