Seeing this story of 19 arrested at a British submarine base in a modest protest calling for nuclear disarmament got me wondering what happened to the MILLIONS who used to march every weekend over this topic in the 70's and 80's.

Where'd they go?

Is nuclear disarmament still in vogue or now out of fashion? Or do people now generally accept a nuclear deterrent?
