In a story that blurred the lines between military discipline and celebrity culture, US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth personally intervened to lift the suspension of Army helicopter crews who had flown AH-64 Apache attack helicopters over musician Kid Rock’s Nashville home — hovering next to his swimming pool while the entertainer clapped and saluted. “No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots,” Hegseth posted on social media, thanking Kid Rock in the process. The two crews had been suspended pending investigation before Hegseth stepped in.
