You won't have real protest until they reinstate the draft and suddenly it becomes harder to stay out of the war.

But you won't get a draft because you don't have the pool of candidates available who aren't already in college like you did back in the 60's. Back then, there was still a substantial percentage of high school males that didn't go on to college. Now, that percentage is probably reversed. And you'd also have to deal with the issue of drafting women. Won't happen. They'll pull out of Iraq before they draft any of their precious creampuffs today.
