There's one thing we all know about Col. Van Barfoot

It's that he knows how to kick ass and win.  I saw this story of local HOA busybodies harassing the good Colonel because he had a flagpole in his yard, did you think that was gonna stop him?  Col. Barfoot has faced worse, much worse, we joke about HOAs busybodies being Nazis, well, Barfoot knows how to handle real Nazis. Barfoot is a well decorated veteran, one of those rare individuals who has earned the Medal of Honor (as if you had to ask, yeah he's got a Wiki), the Wiki has his MOH citation, but I like Mark Levin's reading of it, which I'm shamelessly borrowing from Hotair,



Yeah, that's right, he took three machine gun nests and three Tiger tanks with a Thompson, some grenades and a bazooka, and captured 17 Germans in the process.

Note, the Tiger is a big WWII tank.  The Germans only built a few of them, they were expensive, cumbersome and prone to getting stuck due to their size, but if you were an Allied soldier they were about the last thing you wanted to see roll over the horizon.  They were incredibly armed and armored, with an 88mm main gun and several mounted machine guns.  He stared down three of them.  Three.

HOA should have known better than to think they could bully a MOH recipient
