Well he sure didn’t have it right when he attacked fellow American soldiers in Washington, D.C.

He regretted that incident. He also made sure some of the bonus marchers received some money out of his own pocket.

There were supposedly over 40k people there.....maybe half vet's.

I dunno if that's actually accurate...but I think I've read that.

Anyway....I've regretted many things in my life. But I've never ordered fellow Americans shot at...

I'd guess he was following orders...I suspect he was taking them from MacArthur...who seemed quite put-out by these "Bonus Army" folks....

But following orders against your OWN people?

A real shame..and a stain.
