Freedom From Tyranny?

I think that it's a picture from the massacres and deaths from the Philippine rebellion when the US was occupying the Philippines. It looks a lot ot me like the Rape of Nanking, where thousands of people were buried in ditches similar to this picture in the outskirts of the city. I guess that this picture invokes a lot of sad feelings in me. Although the Japan were criticized heavily for war crimes such as Nanking, this shows how the US have done unspeakable things to many other countries, even though they're censored from the US public. I remember a teacher in elementary school telling me about when she went to Japan during the Vietnam War. There were many horrible scenes in the news about the atrocities that many American soldiers were committing.
