Well, it really only says that they haven't found evidence, and that 42 years is an exaggeration. No one has denied such a tactic would have an effect on people who put superstitiously beliefs ahead of their own life. It is an obvious form of psy-ops that should be tried. "THE TRUTH: This story first showed up in late September 2001, just after the terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center. John "Black Jack" Pershing had a distinguished military career. Between 1899 and 1913, he led four campaigns against the Moros, a group of Muslim insurrectionists - and that was just before World War I, which began in 1914 - but the Moros were in the Philippines, not the United States, and we can find no record of any such incident occurring. That being the case, we don't know from where we should start counting 42 years, but presumably, that time span would have ended in the 1950s. But there are well-documented accounts of Muslim terrorist activities occurring during the 1920s and 1930s, in what is now Israel (then Palestine).
