Biography
Private First Class Bruce "Gypsy" Peterson founded Fatigue Press, one of the best-known Vietnam-era GI underground antiwar newspapers, at Fort Hood, Texas. Targeted by the Army for his organizing, he was arrested three times on marijuana charges widely regarded as a frame-up — the final arrest, in August 1968, resting on a claim of a microscopic trace found in his pocket lint. He was court-martialed and sentenced to eight years' hard labor at Fort Leavenworth. He was released on appeal after serving about two years.
