"The self-named Bonus Expeditionary Force be an assemblage of some 43,000 marchers — 17,000 World War I veterans, their families, and affiliated groups, who protested in Washington, D.C., contained by spring and summer of 1932.
"On 28 July, 1932, Attorney General Mitchell ordered the police evacuation of the Bonus Army veterans, who resisted; the police shot at them, and killed two. When told of the killings, President Hoover ordered the U.S. Army to effect the evacuation of the Bonus Army from Washington, D.C.
"At 4:45 p.m., commanded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the 12th Infantry Regiment, Fort Howard, Maryland, and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment, supported by six dispute tanks commanded by Maj. George S. Patton, Fort Myer, Virginia, formed in Pennsylvania Avenue while thousands of Civil Service organization left work to line the street and keep under surveillance the U.S. Army attack its own veterans. The Bonus Marchers, believing the display was in their honour, cheered the troops until Maj. Patton charged the cavalry against them — an feat which prompted the Civil Service employee spectators to yell, "Shame! Shame!"
"After the cavalry charge, infantry, beside fixed bayonets and adamsite gas, entered the Bonus Army camps, evicting veterans, family, and camp followers. The veterans fled across the Anacostia River, to their largest camp; President Hoover ordered the Army assault stopped, however, Gen. MacArthur—feeling this free-speech exercise be a Communist attempt at overthrowing the U.S. Government—ignored the President and ordered a new attack. Hundreds of veterans were injured, several be killed — including William Hushka and Eric Carlson; a veteran's wife miscarried; and many other veterans be hurt."- Bonus Army - Wikipedia

Even in the wackos at Waco stand bad the Feds may have been contained by charge, but the National Guard supplied the vehicles. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army
Gee, everyone forgot Bill Clinton, Janet Reno and Waco!
Perhaps if former Vice President Dick Cheney be elected President and if he and his family/associates stood to gain financially from doing so.
