When #WWIVeterans marched on Washington and set up an encampment to get
pay owed them for 12 years. #Hoover sent in armed forces to chase them out. It was during #TheGreatDepression. 1932. They were starving.

In 1932, the Bonus Army veterans marched on D.C. only to be forcibly evicted by U.S. troops, an act upheld under the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act’s loopholes. History warns us about weaponizing military might against citizens. #PosseComitatus #BonusArmy

This wasn’t the first time military force was used to send a message on U.S. soil. In 1932, General Douglas MacArthur, yes, that MacArthur—led troops to violently disperse the Bonus Army: WWI veterans demanding promised pay. Bayonets. Tear gas. Encampments burned.
