1932年,参加过第一次世界大战的美国退伍兵开始向华盛顿进军,他们此行的目的是要求政府立即支付之前许诺的退伍补偿金。到达首都之后,他们的要求被拒绝,在警察的“清除”行动未奏效之后,军队驱逐了数万名退伍军人及家属。这次“群体性突发事件”直接导致美国总统的更迭,也让艾森豪威尔、麦克阿瑟和巴顿等后来在二战中立下赫赫战功的著名人物走上历史舞台。 In 1932, U.S. veterans who participated in World War I started to march into Washington. The purpose of their visit was to demand that the government immediately pay the previously agreed retirement compensation. Upon their arrival in the capital, their request was denied and the army deported tens of thousands of veterans and their families after the police “clean-up” failed. This “group incident” directly led to the change of the U.S. president. It also allowed Eisenhower, MacArthur and Patton to take the stage of history in the later famous characters who made outstanding exploits in World War II.
