No one deserved the treatment these vets got. Patton, MacArthur and especially Eishenhower are guilty of treason in the way they treated their fellow soldiers.
Saddest day in American History.
-
@bartskid1 -You are correct.
-
@ChocolateLoverROFL He was told not to do it,go ahead and blame him folks. Isn't that what the Nazis said "they were just following orders"
-
Don't blame MacArthur. Blame the guy who MADE him do it. He had no other choice; he had to follow orders.
-
@xxscreamoxgirlxx They got early payment in 1936 after congress overrode FDR's veto. Very interesting story though.

"Some men will write laws to enslave you, and tell you no other is true.
If no one will rise up to stop them, then no one else can, except you."

"American Freedom" has never existed. It's all a dream.

I don't think that Eisenhower, Patton or MacArthur ever lived down this shameful deed. As pointed out the President did not want this, however, it was not the first time that MacArthur made his own judgement and overode the President. MacArthur was good and bad, like most of us. His general attitude towards Japan after the war was very good. The US could have treated them much more harshly, leaving an embittered foe. I think MacArthur prevented that.

when will Americans fucking learn? The government NEVER gives a shit about veterans. If you join the god damn US military, then you deserve what you get. The US always lies to get us into war and the shits on veterans when they're out.

@MyBrotherMan Back then he wouldn't have hundreds of semiautomatic weapons pointed at his back.
Back then, men could be men and make real positive change. Now, we have to use the fucking pussy method because death is so easily dealt.

The first reason why this is sad is because they didn't make get their benefits until 1945. Then they camped out in dirty, unsanitary, campsites, and they had to rely on the donations of other governments, private citizens, churches to feed their families. This was the Great Depression, nobody had any jobs, but these men: fought for our country, and they got nothing in return. What a disgace to our nation. Then, our own military turns against our own veterans. I'm 14, and i realize this. Sad.

out of all the famous US generals, MacArthur is the one I dislike the most, shooting at your own veterans, what a shame!
