The proposal was REJECTED.</blockquote> The proposal was <em>proposed</em>. In other places such japery is considered beyond the pale, unacceptable even. The proposal attracted popular support. Other cities don't throw out their JROTC, toss out proffered museum ships, and generally act quite as overtly hostile to active duty servicemen and the things they do for a living. I've pulled into that town on a ship and know that the Navy League is very supportive, the press I met was fair in the event, some folks near the old shipyard were gracious hosts...and people on the street harass a guy in uniform. Quite frankly, if you don't like the criticism, how's about addressing the problem in your fair city?

The proposal was REJECTED. I can't imagine Fleet Week without the Blue Angels, and, judging from the packed piers every year, I'd say quite a few others feel the same way.

I would never waste oxygen or electrons (or neurons for that matter) commenting on the Board of Supervisors; however, it is worth noting that the roughly 1 million people that come to city to see the Blue Angels are not San Franciscians - they come for the (slightly) more normal suburban areas and points beyond. Thus, the Blues do serve and effective recruiting purpose in SF.
