...don't forget the Washington uprising where certain, later to be famous in WWII, Generals sent the tanks in and pushed out the annoying poverty stricken WWI vets...

There was no "uprising"- the so called "Bonus Army" was entirely peaceful.

And it wasn't "generals" - it was Douglas MacArthur - hat prince of bombast and bullshit - convinced that the Bonus Marchers were a Communist plot to subvert America (sound familiar?) exceeding his authority and orders. That jackass Hoover should have cashiered him then & saved Truman the trouble.
