General Douglas MacArthur viewed the Bonus Army, a group of World War I veterans seeking early payment of their bonuses, as a threat to public order. He believed that their presence in Washington, D.C., was contributing to unrest and that they were being manipulated by radical elements. Consequently, he ordered the eviction of the veterans from their encampments in 1932, which resulted in a violent clash and further tarnished his reputation. MacArthur's actions were controversial and sparked widespread criticism.
