Who got it worse, the 1932 Bonus Army or the J6 protesters?

Some of our most famous generals were involved in routing the Bonus Army. Showed themselves to be douchebags, IMO.

Interesting times.

As an aside, retired USMC General Smedley Butler (who spoke in support of the WWI veteran protesters) testified before Congress that Wall Street banking interests later had approached him about leading a military putsch against the Roosevelt administration:

One of the conspirators of the plot allegedly included Bush dynasty patriarch Prescott Bush, whose bank had helped finance Hitler’s war machine:

Of course, Smedley Butler went on to write the classic anti-war tract War Is A Racket, in which Butler argued that the Banana Wars largely were fought to serve the interests of small clique of Wall Street business interests and war-profiteers:

War is just a racket. I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it.
