I take for one form of evidence for my original comment the fact that the commercial that the Marines shot all over the US was originally intended to be shot by or on the Golden Gate Bridge. The SF Poweres-That-Be denied the USMC the permission so that scene in the commercial was shot with the Golden Gate in the background. Click here for a story from them time. This isn't the only evidence just one that I immediately remember. They just seem to never given up the '60's counter-culture mindset ad have voted those types into power.
But to heck with them, it made the commercial even better.
