Since San Diego is largely a military town, I wonder how they&#8217;d like it if the Marines and the Navy packed up for some &#8220;wide open spaces&#8221; and take their local jobs and their monthly paychecks with them?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe have been called unpatriotic,\u201d Houts said. \u201cWe\u2019re anything but that.
