Here's a quick recap if you're just joining us:
On Saturday, two Army Apache attack helicopters went to Kid Rock's house (The Southern White House) during a training exercise near Nashville. They reportedly "buzzed" No Kings protesters right before this, with salty old libs saying they flew low over the protest deliberately.
Shortly after this, the Army said the air crew had been suspended for their actions and an investigation had been opened.

Thank you @KidRock.
@USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED.
No punishment. No investigation.
Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸

Al Green is one reason why we need term limits.
I want to see an investigation into the officers that felt the need to loudly tout the crews suspension and investigation.
Where, and what year? It may have been me ;^)
His punishment was having to go to the woman's house each week to do her laundry until his squadron shipped out.
Since the left is ok with judges releasing violent criminals with multiple arrests, they should be able to deal with this.
LOL.
Agreed. One of the reasons I voted for him.
Contrast Trump / Administration responses to common sense issues to say NBA / NFL coaches.
Night and day.
Stand up and act like a Man and let them whine.
It’s s called leadership and it empowers the rest of us to take this nonsense on at our level.
Thank you Mr.President.🤟
Too bad they had no ordinance aboard.
It’s probably best to stop worrying about what our enemies think. Long ago, I was with a several dozen people on a research project out west and got buzzed by a very low B-52 (twice, the second time we were watching for it and had time to cover our ears). Quite an experience, but not news reports, no investigations, no suspensions - it was just our military doing training.
"His punishment was having to go to the woman's house each week to do her laundry until his squadron shipped out."
Last year we were having a midday meal at a well known Louisville restaurant on the outskirts of town, near the Ohio River.
There’s a massive area for outside dining which we prefer, weather permitting. While waiting for our order, we suddenly noticed 4 military helicopters flying north over the river.
To our surprise, they swooped down and landed just on the other side of the flood wall and proceeded to march over the hill and down to a pavilion right next to us.
It turned out to be Fort Knox crews on maneuvers who decided to drop in for lunch.
Helicopter pilots are a different breed. 😃
Time in cockpit is training. Training is good. Carry on!
BobL, I’m not worried about it..
I miss when I was in.
It’s the purple haired full body pierced jerks that are now running (against MAGA) judges I am worried about.
My oldest (son) is about to turn 40.. my youngest (daughter) is about to turn 35...
BOTH are in the WTF category (I wasn’t there, I was busy in the military) with piercings all over the place, and obviously no guidance.
THEY are the future.
We (Sorry, the future of this country) (is) are &*%.
THIS is much worse than the issue of the hippies of the 60s.. (This is the outcome though.. those hippies became the professors and school teachers).
Lol.. Not sure I should mention this.....
...
..
But, before the F-117 was public..
...
...
I had my GF , at the time, out to “lunch” on an obscure ‘picnick’ area on our Air Force Base (which was not known to many, at the time)....
and a pair of the ‘unknown’ F-117s flew over our area... ;^)
You nailed it.
I guess I would have been happier if the Army just “handled” this behind the scenes. Give the pilot a “good talking to”, but not allow it to go unnoticed.
This whole “boys will be boys” attitude is going to come back and bite them in the ass.
“Personally, I love it.. but publicly, not good.”
I’m not sure about loving it. It smacks of poor discipline and leadership. Letting it go like this with “Carry on” will encourage more of it. Hegseth will have to draw the line somewhere.
I have been buzzed by
F4s
F15s
F16s
A10s
B52s
B1s
B2s
SR71s
Tornados
Probably forgot a few.
Fun Stuff, especially when you see them coming and can wave back.
These twits do NOT understand “boys will be boys”.
