[QUOTE="John6185, post: 2313119, member: 25679"] In 1932 President Hoover ordered General McArthur to remove several thousand of WWI vets who had marched on Washington demanding back pay that was promised by the government but never received. McArthur order then Majors, Dwight Eisenhower and George Patton to remove the veterans. The majors ordered federal troops from a nearby Army Garrison and used machine guns, tanks, small arms and bayonets to rout the veterans. Approximately 1,600 women and children were killed and no one knows how many died on the walk back to their homes. It can happen but I am more concerned about our current administration than any "right wing" government we may have. Hoover, MaArthur and Eisenhower were wrong and should have been charged with crimes agains humanity, no one has the right to treat veterans of any way in that manner. But sadly, recently they blocked access to the WWII Memorial for one of the Honor Flights taking veterans in wheelchairs, canes, crutches from seeing the Memorial. This very well could have been their last trip as old as some of them were and yet our government blocked access until a congressman personally removed the barricades and personally walked them to the Memorial. Sad but the events of 1932 could happen again under the current administration. This Sunday they are having a Million Veteran March on Washington and I wish I could be with them. [/QUOTE]
