I don't remember the 60's because I wasn't born until 1980. Thankfully, my first memories of social things was Ronaldus Magnus and people trying to free themselves of the chains of the counterculture. My perspective of these sorts is that these are the people who will complain that the rich and well-to-do do not serve in Iraq but likely took measures to evade the draft during Vietnam because they were lucky enough to be in college. I was sickened by how professors at school made a group of malcontents into heroes. The love generation were the selfish offspring of those who saved the world in WWII. Their freedom assured, they found the time to question the nation that has freed more people, saved more lives and offered opportunity to more people than any other nation to exist on Earth.

I'm stealing that quote from you. :-)
