ParticipantHoover administration’s response to the “Bonus Army”:
“Maj. George Patton led the cavalry and six tanks from the Ellipse… Up ahead, veterans and civilians just getting off work lined Pennsylvania Avenue and sang patriotic songs, believing they were about to witness a parade. Instead, the infantry fixed bayonets, tossed gas canisters, and began herding the outraged veterans and onlookers north. Some of the veterans tried to resist, but they were quickly swept away.”

ParticipantMy neighbor ARPANET has some things say about Mr. Gore’s claim… I think the binary part of the sign is their rebuttal.

Until chain grease comes in another color aside from black… the bar tape stays. :p

ParticipantThis is last one for a while (I promise!) but this was important enough to me that I made the special trip last night to visit it.
Let me tell you about the 100th Infantry Battalion:
