The reason we're in the state we're in is because of insane war mongers and sexually-fearful people like you.
I lived through the sixties too. There was little group sex and much less drug use than hysterics like you claim.
What there was were whole cohorts of people seeking new ways, better ways of living. Like in all experiments, some were dead ends and some were revolutionary.
Then, fearful, xenophobic people like you did everything you could do to crush everything good that came out of it.
And look where it got you. You are disrespected and have earned the contempt of your own countrymen and women. You are the laughingstock of your international neighbors. You are unfit for duty, civic or military.
It's a shame, really.
