If he doesn't like the HOA terms (which I'm sure he signed when he bought his home) then move, otherwise buy one of those "angular" hanging flagpoles that can be attached to the home and fly it all the time. These are the same rules our HOA has.

What's the point he's trying to make?

I am from australia and while in america i could not get over how many people hang there flags up. This does not happen here. But i do agree he should abide by the rules the same as any other house holder. He may have been a hero in the war but so where all the other grunts along side of him

first and foremsot HOA's should be outlawed. cities and states have enough rules that someone isnt going to come in and destroy a community. i will never live in one.

this guy does and it has nothing at all to do with his medal. if he wants special treatment for his military record then he needs to live in military housing.

untrue, some are incredibly lax. For example I've lived in towns that didnt have any regulation on the amount of lights you could place on a property, just the wattage. Image if your neighbor decided to plant a thousand bulbs all over his home.

as far as this goes, fox news sucks and clearly has nothing better to do like report on real news and this guy needs a hobby.
