Why We Fight: Homeowners’ Association Forecloses On American Soldier’s Home While He’s Fighting In Iraq…Soldier’s Family Owned $300,000 Home Free & Clear, But Wife Missed 2 HOA Payments, Leading To Rapid Foreclosure & Sale Of House…That’s Right Folks, Just Because Some Americans Risk Their Lives To Defend America’s Freedom, They Shouldn’t Expect Any Free Lunches…Foreclosing On Deadbeat Soldiers’ Homes Is The American Way, And If You Don’t Like It, You C’n Just Git Out!

www.npr.org -- Capt. Mike Clauer was serving in Iraq last year as company commander of an Army National Guard unit assigned to escort convoys. It was exceedingly dangerous work — explosive devices buried in the road were a constant threat to the lives of Clauer and his men.He was halfway through his deployment when he got a bolt from the blue — a frantic phone call from his wife, May, back in Texas."She was bawling on the phone and was telling me that the HOA [homeowners association] had foreclosed on our house, and it was sold," he says. "And I couldn't believe that could even happen."Clauer had a hard time understanding what his wife was saying. His $300,000 house was already completely paid for. Could it be possible that their home was foreclosed on and sold because his wife had missed two payments of their HOA dues?

They should get their house back and their living room will look so much better with matching lampshades made of the skins of the HOA staff.

Good to see where the “new economy”‘s priorities are.

Are we supposed to care more about it happening to this guy because he’s being paid with borrowed money to occupy or kill in foreign lands? Defending American’s freedoms? Explain the joke again please…it’s funny every time I hear it

Welp, I know just what I’m gonna do about this. I’m gonna put my last 5 dollar bill in an envelope and send it to the Pentagon. This injustice will not stand!

You now, if Capt. Clauer burns down the entire neighborhood, it will put the HOA management out of work. I’d be delighted to buy the gasoline and the Captain can borrow by Bic lighter as well.

People like Capt. Clauer are probably the next wave of “terrorists”. How many P’O’d vets, would want to “Patrick Whitaker, who represents the HOA” to Mr. Boot-to-the-Teeth or even Mr .45 automatic?

Seriously, why are these crooked HOA guys not afraid of the people they are cheating? Isn’t this what gun-nuts should be protecting Americans against?
Whaddaya wanna bet that Patrick Whitaker is a Republican? Even a tea tard?
