Thanks for the compliment!
Your comment made me realise that I'm a massive dummy and, I think because my head has been completely immersed in other subjects, I entirely forgot about the Bonus Army events that occurred post-WWI in the US so there actually is direct evidence that the US government was completely and acutely aware of the potential social and political ramifications of veterans returning from the war and failing to find work and reintegrate into society can have. There's a decent argument for the events surrounding the Bonus Army being a causative factor for the downfall of Hoover's presidency too.
