Crosby was well off but had no military intel background in his family. Still's dad was in the military, but in Louisiana/Fla area. Nash was British.
Zappa's dad was a chemist, albeit for a military contractor. And he rebelled against that.
Morrison's dad became an admiral. But then again, I never thought of the Doors as particularly hippyish.
Not sure who in the Byrds you are referring to.

Yeah, a lot of families had military service in their background. It's almost like there was something big needing a lot of soldiers going on around 1940-1950 or so...
