“are those mounted police wearing UN BLUE HELMETS”

The blue apparently matches the color of their uniform and have nothing to do with the UN. The helmet style appears to be for riding safety.

As much as I would like to blame him Roosevelt wasn't President at the time.

Forget it. He's rolling. :)

Good catch!

Hoover was Pres during the first (big) bonus march. Roosevelt was pres during the little one.

On July 28, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. Veterans were also shot dead at other locations during the demonstration. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the army to clear the veterans’ campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded the infantry and cavalry supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.

A second, smaller Bonus March in 1933 at the start of the Roosevelt Administration was defused in May with an offer of jobs for the Civilian Conservation Corps at Fort Hunt, Virginia, which most of the group accepted. Those who chose not to work for the CCC by the May 22 deadline were given transportation home.[2] In 1936, Congress overrode President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s veto and paid the veterans their bonus years early.

You know a lot of protest tunes of the 60’s and early 70’s where quite prophetic as we see now 40 years later, they just weren’t sure what side they were on...many if not most listeners turned out to be anti-constitutionalists.

When I read your post this tune came to mind...Sign Signs everywhere a sign boggin up the scenery breakin my mind, do this don’t do that, can’t you read the sign...Five Man Electric Band

And though the past has it’s share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it’s protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it’s a monster and will not obey

And someone should also ask, “Who pays your salary?” If the answer isn’t “You do!” they’ll need to be corrected.

The spirit was freedom and justice
And it’s keepers seem generous and kind
It’s leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won’t pay it no mind
‘Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it’s all just an echo of what they’ve been told
Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin’

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin’ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can’t understand
We don’t know how to mind our own business
‘Cause the whole worlds got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who’s the winner
We can’t pay the cost
‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

Excuse me, are those mounted police wearing UN BLUE HELMETS, or is that just my monitor?

Probably just your monitor. If they were UN Blue Helmets, they would be sprinting for the tall grass as soon as they saw the veterans show up.

I remember it because that caused my Grandpa to vote for the Democrat for the first (and last) time.

It was really a toss up as which one he hated more Hoover or FDR. He would lament that those were the only two votes he really regretted casting.
