“This is not about the American flag. This is about a flagpole,” reads the statement from the association, which insists that Barfoot directly violated its board’s July ruling.
I don't care. They should make the exception in this case solely based on his service to this country. Why the hell can't anybody do this? This isn't just anybody, read the guys citation for crying out loud! He did more in one day on the battlefield than some soldiers have ever done in their entire service!
Let him put up his pole if it means so much to him. He isn't doing this to bust chops, he is doing this because it means something to him. He likes the custom of raising the flag and taking it down as it is the custom.
Why pick this fight?
