I don't think I'm nitpicking. There weren't many European colonial wars that matched the Philippine Insurrection in scale. We deployed over 110,000 regulars, U.S. volunteers and state volunteer infantry, and suffered 4,234 killed and 2,779 wounded. And though analogies can often be stretched too far, it is a conflict comparable (and often compared) to the current one in Iraq in many respects.
