"The Philippine Scouts were superb. My enlisted Scouts were far superior to Philippine Army officers and even more superior to Philippine Army enlisted men. The Scouts were brave, dependable, willing to work until they dropped from exhaustion. Completely committed to doing their duty. I cannot speak highly enough of the scouts I knew."
