This is a much propagated myth.

from the following link:

Quote:
"according to Dr. Frank E. Vandiver, professor of history at Texas A&M University and author of "Black Jack: The Life and Times of John J. Pershing," the above tale is apocryphal. "This story is hard to stop!" he wrote in answer to an email query. "I never found any indication that it was true in extensive research on his Moro experiences. This kind of thing would have run completely against his character."
Further, comprehensive proof of its falsehood can be found at Urban Legends

sadly, governments have considered measures in this vein though. Blood on Buses

Oh.. and I think this is my first post. so hello everyone.
