If he wants to raise a flag military style, maybe he can do it at a public park, a town square, an American Legion, a post office, a school, or a government building where having a large flagpole is practical.

He knew what the rules were, he followed them, but when his request was denied he took it upon himself to do what he wanted anyway. Now he and his internet supporters are asking for special treatment. Epic meh.

This is not to say that I support HOA's, actually I despise them. But I recognize that they do serve a purpose and that there are people who choose to live that way. The Col. himself probably takes pride in knowing he lives in an area where people don't leave their X-mas lights up all year or have cars on blocks in their yards.
