Many of them were arrested and it affected their futures, but you don't have to go to Iraq or Afghanistan. Protestors went on strike, often were beaten and sometimes killed so you could have better wages and job benefits. Protesters helped break the glass ceiling so women could get better jobs with better pay, or they would still be working in offices for half of what men make. But if you aren't a woman you won't care, but I bet the women in your life do.
Many of the the privileges your little entitled ass enjoys today is because protesters shouted, were often ineffective, were often beaten, arrested and sometimes killed because some other entitled asshole didn't like it.
