I have to question a "Career highlights" that fails to mention his command of the Pancho Villa pursuit and of all US Forces in Europe for WWI.

Ah, Pancho Villa, the father of silhouette shooting.  (or so popular lore has it)

Don't know if it is true or not, but it should be!

Don't know if it is true or not, but it should be! 

For those who don't know, the story goes:

Pancho and his gang would take over a hacienda and camp/hide out for a while.   After getting drunk and bored they would start placing bets with each other on their ability to shoot farm animals.   Imagine several banditos sitting on the front porch mostly drunk and saying, "I bet 5 pesos I can hit that chicken by the fence on my first shot."

Whether it happened we'll never know,  what we do know is shooting live animals at "county fairs" in old Mexico was the origin of our modern metallic silhouette game.

If you have bought chicken lately you will under stand why they switched to reusable steel plates .

Man, that goes back to "the day".
I remember the ones that showed a guy getting "Rodney King'ed" that said, "When cops are the problem, Call a hippie."

While the Pershing story about the Moro's in the Philippine's is a good read, its not factual. There is no evidence that Pershing did anything like that. It may have occurred, but it wasn't Pershing's doing. His history of dealing with the Moro's was actually fairly diplomatic. He tried to reason with them and see things from their perspective. When needed, he mounted punitive expeditions against them with great success.
