What’s the last thing the narrator says?
That the incident shows the need not for the bonus but for a new American system.
Kind of like a fundamental transformation?

Wasn’t that a clear violation of Posse Comitatus?

Look up the 1932 election. People were throwing things at Hoover at his campaign stops.

That’s Douglas MacArthur and George S. Patton clearing out the ‘Bonus Army’.

Put down by MacArthur and Eisenhower was his aide. But orders are orders.

General MacArthur commandeered and led the attacks against the Bonus Army.

In the novel "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross, this incident is touched upon. The beginning of the novel is really a collection of historical events which demonstrate that the US government is out for itself (always has been) and does not care about individual citizens.
And then the government decides to mess with Henry Bowman.
Bad mistake.

1932 U.S.Military attacks demonstrating American War Veterans Wrong! The veterans had largely dispersed and were replaced by communists and assorted rabble spoiling for a fight.
The Left will never forgive MacArthur for rolling up those communists.

U.S. government property in D.C.
Not sure posse comitatus would apply.

Another fine example of why I call DC the District of Criminals.
And another reason for the 2nd Amendment.

Today we are better equipped and our numbers are greater and we are under no illusion that troops would not kill their neighbors. It would be a blood bath, go after the officers first. Find their families and go Chinese mafia.

The veterans involved were no better than the Occupy Wall Street crowd at that point. They were using the threat of force to try and extort money out of the American people through Congress.
