It never ceases to amaze me how many so called news reporters seem to reinvent history to cover their own political persuasion or preconceived notions.
We keep seeing writers say how we’ve been involved in the longest war in American history with the Iraq/Afghanistan wars.
The first long military campaign for the American army was the Apache War which started in 1851 and did not end until the surrender of Geronimo in 1886. However, Apache attacks on white and Mexican settlers would continue as late as 1900.
The Comanche Wars was an extended battle over many years against the Comanche from 1899-1933.
The Moro Rebellion (1899–1913) was an armed military conflict between Muslim Filipino revolutionary groups and the United States military which took place in the Philippines from 1899 to 1913, following the Spanish-American War in 1898. The word Moro was a term for Muslims who lived in the southern Philippines, an area that includes Mindanao and its neighboring islands. The Moro Rebellion is referred to as the second phase of the Philippine-American War. Modern Muslim rebels of the southern Philippines today conduct a continuing struggle against “foreign rule” – the Philippine government.
You do the math.
