I hate to see 'hostility toward the military' in the U.S. Is there really that much hostility there to cancel a ship commissioning?

Unfortunately, yes. They have more than one council member very anti-military in San Fran and one who has been on Fox several times actually thinks the USA should not have a military, the money should be spent for Socialist programs instead. They thought he was joking at first, but alas no, he wasn't. DiFi tried hard to get this carrier docked in San Francisco to bring more tourism into the city and it ended up in Stockton because of the negativity San Francisco showed to our military.

Bill O'Reilly has called for the Government to withhold government funding for San Francisco where they can, especially the universities in the area who have kicked out ROTC.

Dang, I didn't realise the hostility was that bad. Sad commentary on the part of some citizens. I am around blue dog Democrats who actually support our military but at the same time they are teaching their younger childen that fighting over in Iraq is not defendig America. I camnot argue with them so long as we have the UN's charter Chapter VII. You can bet the UN wants the American military to keep fighting.
