If we Americans are appalled at the Russian killing of children, why donβt we teach to our own children the words of Gen. Jacob H. Smith, who ordered his soldiers to βkill everyone over 10β in the Philippine-American War? Or the 1864 Sand Creek massacre, when US Army troops massacred about 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho people, two-thirds of whom were women and children?
Great piece by Viet Thanh Nguyen.
