It's not about having the guts to put the stickers on the vehicles but not having the mandate to support the war, which the placement of stickers is heavily associated with. There is nothing stopping them from supporting the members of the Armed Forces so they have found a way to accomplish this in a clear and unambiguous manor. The folks down at Silly Hall aren't trying to avoid pissing off voters they are simply trying to avoid actions that are not part of the mandate that those voters have given them. The only one trying to shore up votes is Dr. No, and before you go cast your vote for him you should find out how he got is aforementioned nickname...

Btw, Remembrance Day is a national holiday not municipal.
