I do not recall ever hearing or reading of this piece of American history.

A little history:


This is almost unbelievable. I had never heard of this.

Rare Film From 1932. Can It Happen Again?

FANTASTIC NEWS VIDEO: 1932 - young Patton, young Eisenhower, young MacArthur, Pres.Hoover, Walter Winchell reporting. I don't recall this from any history classes.

    Of course you don't remember this particular piece of history. Do you honestly think a nation which uses military force against its own citizens would allow them to remember it? Never. It had to be scrubbed from the history books.

      I learned about it in school.
      In point of fact, I would think it would be a key component of the Common Core... anything to tarnish America's image.

      I'm trying to follow any astonishment at this use of "military force" against a nation's own citizens taking place just 70 years after the nation used military force against those whom it claimed were still its own citizens, in the process killing 600,000 of them.
