HEGSETH'S DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE: STUPID, INEPT, INCOMPETENT, AND CHILLING

 

Hegseth says suspensions lifted for helicopter crews who hovered over Kid Rock home 

Pentagon chief’s remarks come after US army said crews suspended amid investigation into incident in Tennessee. 

 "Defense secretary Pete Hegseth said the crews of two US army AH-64 Apache helicopters that hovered next to the singer Kid Rock’s swimming pool while he clapped and saluted on Saturday are no longer suspended.

 'No punishment. No investigation,' Hegseth wrote on social media. 'Carry on, patriots.' 

 Hegseth’s announcement came just hours after a US army spokesperson said the crews had been suspended from flying pending a investigation. 

 'The army has confirmed that on 28 March, two Apache helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade at Fort Campbell conducted a flight in the Nashville area that has attracted public and media attention,'  according to a statement from the army on Tuesday. 

 The army said it was reviewing 'the circumstances surrounding the mission, including compliance with relevant FAA regulations, aviation safety protocol, and approval requirements' ”. 

***************************

If Hegseth is publicly thanking Kid Rock for getting an Army pilot’s suspension lifted, it implies: 

•the decision wasn’t based on evidence or proper review 

•it was based on celebrity influence and political connections 

•and military discipline is now subject to who knows who.

Hegseth ordered them on his own but Kid Rock probably asked him to, and it seems evidence based on the fact he had cameras there to record it.

Reckless, lawless, rogue administration staffed by inept and incompetent amateurs. 

So the pilots get a pass for misusing a military helicopter to wave at Kid Rock from Hegseth and Trump.

This tells you everything you need to know. 

The Kid Rock helicopter thing is, like a lot of things right now, both stupid and chilling, because it shows how casually Hegseth will waive away anything he perceives to be "patriotic" and righteous. 

This is Kid Rock, the guy who sang about promoting pedophilia and who Hegseth praised as a patriot and who fits right in with Trump's administration:

Rock’s 2001 song, “Cool, Daddy Cool,” which contains the lyrics, “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage, see some say that’s statutory (but I say that’s mandatory).”
