Hegseth Lifts Apache Crew Suspensions for Kid Rock Flyby Undermining Military Discipline
Hours after the U.S. Army suspended helicopter crews involved in a fly-by at Kid Rock’s home, War Secretary Pete Hegseth reversed the decision. The Army had launched an investigation into the incident, prompted by a video posted by the musician, and suspended the pilots from flight duties. Hegseth announced the suspension and investigation were lifted, stating, “No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots.” The Apache helicopters, from Fort Campbell, were observed hovering outside Kid Rock’s Nashville residence, a flight that had drawn public and media attention.
