The military takes „misuse of government property“ very seriously. Those helicopters cost thousands of dollars per hour to operate. Taxpayers aren’t paying for your personal celebrity sightseeing tour. If they were low enough to be „harassing,“ it’s a safety issue, full stop.
Trump will bring them to the White House and give them Medals of Honor.
dishonorable discharge is what they deserve
I was wondering if it was misconduct and it appears that it was.
so many conservatives were defending that as „necessary flight time“ lol
Assumed they had the green light, and after reading the articles written about it, I still assume they had the green light from *someone* higher up, and now they’re doing their level best to minimize the political fallout because, yes, this is and was a little ridiculous and embarrassing for everyone, all things considered.
*at a Fourth Of July BBQ:*
“Hey Dave, how’s work going?”
“Ah, I got suspended.”
“For what?”
“Well…you remember that Bawitaba song?”
What?! Someone being held accountable?! No way
WTF? Kegsbreath allowed the suspension? Were they black and/or women?
Now make him pay for the fuel and maintenance costs on the aircraft used.
So, who pays back the American taxpayer for the joyride?
How to ruin your life in 1 Easy step. Step one. become maga.
Okay but who ordered the flight ? This isn’t just a rogue pilot. This route was planned. This flight mission went thru a G3 Air shop and was eventually appproved by the plans and operations section.
Who authorized them to do it
„Suspends“ here means „keep a low profile son, this will all blow over in a bit and you be back to flying“
They tried to deny it, then try to make it appear as some coincident or small mistake, not sure of the whole video part was planned to that extent making it fairly undeniable that this whole fucking thing was planned in advance….
I like that this is how I find out I live less than five miles from Kid Rock. Going to tell my kids to TP that house forever.
In the Army, the low man involved in any scandal is the only one assured of punishment.
Maybe they should have run a sex trafficking ring instead bc apparently there are zero consequences for that now.
Why is our government going to such lengths to entertain a 55-year-old man
Dollars to donuts The Donald gets involved, all is forgiven and Kid Rock does a shitty free concert for the troops, which is actually just a thinly veiled MAGA rally.
I really thought Hegseth ordered this shit, it has all the hallmarks
Send them to Iran.
How much did this stunt cost me?
lol, someone up the chain is guaranteed to override this but it won’t be reported in the news. These pilots were doing something they had permission to do. There’s probably a ‚do something nice for Kid Rock‘ standing order at some level.
I like the part where they said it was coincidental that they flew directly over the protests, not once, but twice. 🤔
Not only that but I’m almost certain even the military has minimum distance requirements. As in how close you can fly to houses, trees, etc. in certain ac.
how about reimbursement?
The fact that this had to be made an order says everything wrong with our current military. Army brat here, before you come at me with any un-patriotic bullshit sentiment
Who made the call to do it in the first place?
Thank god our armed services member are checking on kid rock to make sure he’s not drinking bud light #MAGA
Good. As well they should
A clear cut Fraud, Waste and Abuse case of taxpayer funds to fly a mission critical U.S. Blackhawk helicopter near the home of Kid Rock. The Commander of this Aviation Unit and all subordinates involved should be disciplined.
Everyone in the chain of command should be dishonorably discharged.
but we cant afford healthcare
Don’t know if it’s the same.
Wife and I anchored our sailboat in a cove in the upper Keys. Wife decides to skinny dip cause no other boat around. Bathing suit on deck.
Way down to our right is the Intercostal. A CG helicopter was flying low down the channel. Pass by but then cranks around and heads to our boat. Wife is on a float off the stern.
Helicopter is not far off the water and creeps close and closer to our boat. Finally it just hovers off the stern.
Wife is asking what do they want? I say they want to see your boobs. She paddles up and flashes her 28 year old tits.
We could clearly see the salute from both crew members they slowly back out and continued down the ICW.
I’m supposed to believe this air crew knew exactly where Kid Rock lives and went to his house unannounced to hover in his backyard, without him, or any of his many friends in the Trump administraion knowing and giving approval? I call bullshit.
How tf did kid rock make it into the national political discussion?
It highlights how ridiculous this admin is. KR is a washed up genre-hopping novelty act who hasn’t had a mainstream hit in years. He made his original rep as a bad boy, drug using, counter culture figure.
Yet, somehow, he’s in the president’s orbit and is a mouthpiece for right wing politics and some kind of patriotic figure.
It’s bizarre.
Posts like this remind me that we are living in simulation that went off the rails about ten years ago. It’s not just me, right? The world wasn’t always incomprehensible. There was a time when sanity prevailed.
Meanwhile, no repercussions for anyone for sinking Venezuelan boats without any legal basis.
