Blue Angels Ban

Those anti-war activists really do support the troops don't they? Well, no, not at all really.

The annual aerial show by the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels — a San Francisco tradition dating back to 1981 that pumps millions into the local economy — is running into opposition from three local peace advocacy groups that are calling for a permanent halt to the popular Fleet Week flyover.

CodePink, Global Exchange and Veterans for Peace, Chapter 69, are working with Supervisor Chris Daly on a Board of Supervisors resolution to address concerns over the Blue Angels.

Concerns. Over a show that dates back over twenty years.

Daly acknowledged he is considering a call to halt the flyovers because, he said, “they seem dangerous and unnecessary.”

Dangerous, eh? But that's not all, is it?

Veterans for Peace takes issue with the pro-military message and the recruiting efforts that come along with the annual visit as well as what it refers to as the “noise pollution.”

After the nonsense about safety concerns and a "waste of fuel" we get to the real crux of the matter- their anti-military agenda. Couldn't the US Army and National Guard simply pull out of the Bay area completely and leave them to it? They could set up border check-points around the city leading to the USA.
