By using military force against its members is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The gathering of 12,000 to 15,000 world war one veterans and their wives, children in Washington D.C in 1932 is known as Bonus army. They demanded payment for their wartime services to ease the distress of great depression. Although Congress had voted for compensation certificates but but the veterans could not get the payment until 1945. The veterans engaged in riots. Herbert Hoover intervened by calling the troops which were led by General Perry L. Miles. While removing the veterans one veteran got killed and many more were wounded. The troops destroyed their campsites by using teargas and tanks. The event was a big blow to president Hoover. Another bonus army marched to D.C in May 1933 but unlike Hoover they were welcomed by Eleanor Roosevelt.
