The Bonus Army was a group of World War I veterans who marched on Washington D.C. in 1932 to demand early payment of a promised bonus. Herbert Hoover ordered U.S. military forces, led by General Douglas MacArthur, to forcibly evict the veterans and their families from their encampments, using tear gas and tanks. The other options are incorrect: no military jobs were offered, Hoover did not ignore the group (he took direct action), and no government jobs were provided to the Bonus Army members.
