I guess your quote has some merit but even as a pre-teen, I had no sympathy for the anti-war protestors. I wore my hair long and loved to wear my " mod " clothes. However, my favorite jacket was my Dad's old USMC field jacket. I've never had any doubts about my loyalties. I don't see being young as an excuse to being ignorant. The " chicks " are older than some of the young men who have been willing to, and in fact, have given thier life to defend their country.
As for the "chicks" music, it's no loss to me. I am a fossil. I still listen to music on "vinyl". Outlaw Country is what I like. Starting with Merle and including all those that sang from their hearts. Not part of this music industry that we have now that is just a music mill.
I have however, changed my opinion of Travis Tritt. I always considered him a " Willie " wannabe. He spoke out when it counted. I have a little crow to eat there.
All this is of course, my opinion, and my ex-wife and my current wife will tell you, I am very opinionated Take care ~ shao
