What is everyone so bent out of shape about? The City not putting the stickers on the vehicles? Or the city flip-flopping on the label company with the use of donated decals?
The way I think I understand this is, the previous proposal had the city putting the decals on the their vehicles, which would boost the moral of the troops and show the City cares about them.
The current proposal has the city selling the decals to the residents of Calgary and donating the money to an organization that helps military families.
How can you say the city doesn't support the troops? Both of these solutions seem to do just that. One might give the support of moral, where as the other gives direct help to the troops. The later just has the city not stepping on anyones toes with the political issue that the supporting of the troops can lead people to believe you are also supporting the war.
Whats supporting the troops more? A magnet on your car, or direct monetary investments to a military resource centre for families?
