Not sure what you mean by that. In the Vietnam era, opposition to the war was stifled, sometimes at gunpoint. The few, sporadic incidents of escorting folks wearing protest tee-shirts out of a handful of events today barely compares to what some Vietnam protesters went through.

I suppose you can call the protests of the Iraq war in the US sizable, but given that there have been larger protests in nations ranging from Canada to Spain and Germany, and given that the protests in the US are less than a third of the size of the protests against Vietnam despite forty years of population growth, I'm not so certain that is a good assessment.
