Renting sucks, but I believe you have SOME rights on that property! I suppose reading the agreement would help, but I doubt "drinking beer on your front lawn is forbidden" is clearly written there. Washing the car I can kinda understand, but it's still pretty lousy. As for the flag, that sucks. I guess they can do it, but as long as you maintain that lawn, it shouldn't be defaced against your will. You mow the grass, right? Keep the flag there. Be sure to keep clear of it when you mow. In a couple weeks it'll be overgrown as hell You could also say that as a military-involved individual, you find the company logo on the American flag to be rather insulting. I know I would!
As for the non-military that act military, I understand that. Family, spouses, and non-military people that work with the military should respect themselves a bit more. When a husband or wife attains a certain rank, THAT PERSON did that. Their spouse did not. The spouse can be proud of them, but to say "we" is BS. Get an identity of your own! It's degrading to, say, a Navy wife to associate her husband's accomplishments with her own. Is she worth nothing herself that she has to assimilate his victories as her own?
