For #2, I think we had better not take those exaggerations too seriously.

For your #3, people that are at least OK with the idea of US ships may well be the majority but here you have to look at the minority and how vocal they'll be. Commerce is not a tyranny of the majority system. Rather, it places great weight on not offending vocal minorities. That was NOT an exaggeration, god dammit.

Where would you find a nation, whose navy and army would object an advise coming from each other just because "they are navy (army) and we are army (navy)"? And where would you find a nation, whose navy and army deliberately use completely different and un-interchangable equipments, all the way to screws and bolts? (The threads are opposite: Army used clockwise threads, Navy used counterclockwise threads, at least from what I found. It could be the opposite, but at least they do use screws of the opposite directions)
