Do not forger that the hippie anti-war movement was the reaction of rich young people to evade mandatory military service in Vietnam. The best way to avoid military call was to change location (old VW on the road) and appearance (long hairs and unusual clothing). Ladies accompanying these nice (coward) people were just a cherry on the cake. When the war ended, the movement was dissolved as fog in the morning. The change is military organization (voluntary service) in the US made the anti-war movement weak and almost unnecessary. People from the rusty belt, farmers, and people of color are currently consider the army service. Only people in the far tails of the normal distribution of passion in the population participate in anti-war actions.
