Here is my claim, people can decide if it is accurate.

Actually hunger and inadequate diets, malnutrition, and slow starvation in some extreme cases, are known about the great depression, at least to most people.
Many of us had family that experienced it, and these men would have experienced it on the road and so far from home, it is what appears to have brought most of them to travel to DC in the first place, are you paying attention to this story at all?
You want to rage and attack people personally, but you don’t seem to be saying anything other than repeating over and over, that they weren’t facing starving and hunger.
If that is your opinion, then fine, to you it is all just Great Depression mythology, and poor people traveling at the time would not be dealing with such a problem, but your rage and hostility is off putting.

Post some evidence that the Bonus Army members were starving. If you have none, then don’t make the claim. We both know you’ll fail because none of them died on the march or in camp of starvation. None of them. Newspaper stories from the time period are clear on this. Fact, of course, don’t matter to you.
