MacArthur and Eisenhower
In June 1932 President Herbert Hoover called General Douglas MacArthur, army chief of staff, to disperse protesting members of the Bonus Army from the nation’s capital. Hoover was sharply criticized over the incident in which MacArthur, left, shown here with his aide, Major Dwight D. Eisenhower, burned the tent encampment and used tear gas and bayonets to remove the disgruntled veterans.
