I'm sure those militant people exist, but I've yet to encounter one. I can speak from the other side though. After someone realizes that I don't eat meat, I usually (as in way too often) get follow up questions about the reasons etc. I'm not sure if this is because of attempted "small talk" or other reasons, but after a while, I just got tired of it. I generally try to avoid long follow-up discussions on the topic, because I simply don't think it's worthy of attention (at least in this context).
