Yeah that was mentioned in a few of the links I posted. So many people are quick to jump the gun and point the finger at Col. Barfoot for "breaking the rules" yet fail to see the point that is trying to be made of fighting a stupid and ignorant decision from a biased HOA board.

There was nothing in the rules in regards to flag poles at all, they just don't like his flag pole so they want him to remove it which is where they used the "aesthetic" category to try and win their battle against him, that's it. As we've all pointed out, it's silly and disrespectful to such a hero of this country.
