    Outrageous!

    The Bonus Army and its Historical Significance The United States Army fought no major wars in the 1930s, but actions that it undertook in that decade contributed importantly to the development of the U.S. as it is today. In particular, the so-called Bonus Army incident led to specific and lasting changes in both the publicly perceived role of the United States Army and the way in which war veterans are treated in the U.S. These changes resonate well beyond the military. At the conclusion of World War I (WWI), veterans’ groups pressured Congress to approve a cash payment calculated on the basis of the number of days soldiers spent on duty.1 A version of this “bonus” was approved in 1924, with the caveat that payments were to be made in 1945 rather than immediately.2 Under this compromise, veterans were issued Adjusted Service Certificates guaranteeing their future. Less than a decade later, however, the nation’s descent into the Great Depression and a Congressman named Wright Patman intervened. The Depression brought great economic pain; WWI veterans, like the rest of the population, suffered from high unemployment and food shortages. Although Congress in 1931 allowed veterans to borrow against their future bonus payments, Patman pushed further, introducing a bill to authorize immediate bonus payments. 1 Donald J. Lisio, The President and Protest: Hoover, MacArthur, and the Bonus Riot. New York: Oxford UP, 1994, 7. Except where noted, details of the Bonus Army incident in my summary are drawn primarily from the Lisio book and Jennifer D. Keene, Doughboys, the Great War, and the Remaking of America. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins UP, 2001, 179-204. 2 Ibid., 7-8. 1 Patman’s efforts to hasten the bonus payment resonated with struggling veterans across the country.3 Up to an estimated 20,000 veterans and sympathizers converged on Washington, DC to demand passage of the bonus bill. Demonstrations and peaceful marches began in Washington in May 1932. The demonstrators took shelter in several ramshackle buildings on Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the Capitol, and in a shantytown on the Anacostia Flats, east of the Anacostia River. President Herbert Hoover refused to meet with the leaders of what had come to be known as the Bonus Expeditionary Force, or Bonus Army. After passing the House, the bonus bill was soundly defeated by a Senate vote in mid-June. Nevertheless, the daily marches continued. On July 28, Secretary of War Hurley ordered the police to evict the veterans from the buildings on Pennsylvania Avenue, which were scheduled for demolition.4 Fighting broke out as the police moved in to enforce the eviction order, escalating into a riot in which two veterans were shot and killed. Local officials quickly requested the intervention of the U.S. Army. President Hoover deployed the Army to disperse the crowd. General Douglas MacArthur led the troops in, using heavy-handed techniques to chase the marchers across the river to the Anacostia Flats. Once there, MacArthur exceeded his orders and destroyed the shantytown in the Flats, driving the Bonus Army from Washington.
