Bataan Death March
During World War II, approximately 200,000 American soldiers were captured and became prisoners of war (POWs). However, the number of those who officially surrendered is not precisely documented, as many soldiers were captured during battles rather than formally surrendering. The most notable event of mass surrender occurred during the fall of Bataan in 1942, where thousands of American and Filipino troops were captured by Japanese forces.
The Philippine insurrection was finally broken in 1901 when American soldiers infiltrated a guerrilla camp and captured Emilio Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader.
Because the Japanese fought to the death. They did not surrender.
Yes it is true. A vietcong sniper called Apache used to castrate captured american soldiers with in ear shot of the american bases. She also kept eyelids and various other body parts.
The Bataan Death March began in April 1942 after the surrender of approximately 75,000 Filipino and American troops to the Japanese forces. These soldiers were forced to march over 60 miles under brutal conditions, leading to significant suffering and a high death toll among the prisoners. The event became a symbol of the harsh treatment faced by POWs during World War II and highlighted the dire circumstances of the Philippines during the Japanese occupation.

No. They enslaved, killed, imprisoned, and used the Filipino people when they captured their islands. The Filipino people weren't in a struggle against Americans, but worked with the American to rid themselves of the Japanese imperialism. Young women were forced to service Japanese soldiers and were called "comfort girls." The American army worked to free the Filipino people and fought battles with the Japanese. Hand to hand combat happened in Manilla between American and Japanese armies and men died in beachheads to take back the islands.
