Quote: Conclusion: Why do you think some American soldiers brutalized Philippine insurgents?
Please use evidence from the documents to support your answer.
1 think some American soldiers brutalized Philippine insurgents because of how the
Americans had Ьееп previously treated. ln document С, it says that "American prisoners
were buring alive." and that "kicking, slapping, and spitting at the faces of American
prisoners [was] common." Since the American soldiers were treated as such, it would make а
lot of sense for them to plan and take revenge against people in the Philippines and the
Filipino insurgents.
