Your first post...

No one in the Bonus Army was shot or killed in the eviction. A baby died of tear gas.

Proved incorrect. What was the point of posting that if you weren't defending what happened there? In the context of this thread it has no other meaning.

In the eviction

The two were killed prior to the eviction by police. That incident was one that influenced the authorities to order the eviction by US troops that MacArthur lead.

In the eviction a baby died from the gas. I am not including the baby as "in the Bonus Army".

As I have stated, communist propagandists use this incident to equate moral equivalence of the US and communist regimes by falsely stating the US Army fired on and murdered US citizens.

There is a false impression that exists that the US Army fired on the Bonus Marchers en masse and killed many of them that is used as communist or anti-American propaganda.

Such incorrect facts need to be corrected.
