> tanks against us ww1 veterans protesting for their bonus
"…When police arrived to move them out, a riot erupted, and police shot and killed two protesters. After that, the Army was called in to restore order.
General Douglas MacArthur led the Army troops, along with his aide Major Dwight D. Eisenhower and an able tank commander, Major George S. Patton. Under President Hoover’s orders to drive the protesters back across the Anacostia River, the Army was in position in the late afternoon. Once the order was given, the troops advanced with tanks, fixed bayonets, and tear gas to drive away the crowd of veterans back across the bridge."
