The Bonus Army

On July 28^th 1932 U.S. Army troops under the command of General Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower and George S. Patton (The Harlem Globetrotters of American War Generals) attacked and burned an encampment of unemployed WWI Veterans Camped out around the capital. And just like the Harlem Globetrotters they proceeded to win while showboating all kinds of fancy shots and pulling down the pants of their opponents.  

The Unemployed soldiers called themselves the Bonus Army because they were demanding the war bonuses promised to them and because America was short on money during the depression, but not on ironic names and reasons to be unemployed.

I guess it's hard to get a job in the private sector when your last job lasted from 1914-1918 and job description included Avenging the Lusitania and trench foot. 

The eviction of the encamped soldiers was ordered by President Hoover, a president so terrible they renamed shanty towns after him and a Vacuum. I'm assuming the inventors were like “Hey this thing really sucks, what can we call it? Oh remember the president that inspired the Grapes of Wrath and gave us the Dust Bowl? Yeah lets name it after that guy. So we he used the new army to attack the old army because, hey when you've got two armies one of them is just at...BONUS!
