On this day, 14 July 1966 a group of American GIs were given the order to deploy to Vietnam. Three of them refused, and became the Fort Hood Three: the most high profile US refuseniks to date. They were court-martialled and each jailed for five years. But they helped spark a militant anti-war GI movement which brought an early end to the conflict.
