In their last stand at the United States Capitol, the Bonus Army broke through police lines and surged up the steps as they staged a final demonstration, which they hoped would induce the government to pay the cash they demanded.

As the huge throng waited on the steps and the plaza,

broke his shit.

What would they drink?
