A screaming match then broke out.

  • President Hoover ordered Washington police to evict the Bonus Army squatters. Some of them reacted by throwing bricks, and in one skirmish two veterans were shot.[55] Hoover now called on the military, and the Secretary of War ordered Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur to "surround the affected area and clear it without delay."[43] Infantry, cavalry and tanks were deployed and by 8:00 p.m. the protestors had been pushed across the Anacostia River with tear gas. The most controversial moment of the affair ensued an hour later, as MacArthur disobeyed orders and sent the military across the bridge, driving away the veterans and setting fire to their camp. The entire episode became a public relations disaster for the Hoover Administration as the military's actions were seen as overly harsh.[43][55]
