    > ... the real ruler of Haiti was Col. L.W.T. Waller of the US Marines, fresh from atrocities in the conquest of the Philippines; he was acquitted in #CourtMartial proceedings on grounds that he had merely been following higher orders to take no prisoners and to kill every male Filipino over age 10... everyone over 10 was ordered killed by Waller’s commander #GeneralSmith, who was “admonished” in a court-martial proceeding and retired a year and a half early by.. #Roosevelt, in punishment.
