Early instance of internal military resistance to the Vietnam War
The Presidio mutiny was a sit-down protest carried out by 27 prisoners at the Presidio stockade in San Francisco, California on October 14, 1968. It was one of the earliest instances of significant internal military resistance to the Vietnam War. The stiff sentences given out at courts martial for the participants drew international attention to the extent of sentiment against the war within the U.S.
