    Kid rock? Looks more like old man Rock, what got 12 miners killed in an accident due to underfunding the construction of the mines in Pensacola. He hired some goons to hush up the families and slid some c-notes to the local sherif.

    Mighty wicked, old man Rock is.

      Born: Robert James Ritchie, January 17, 1971 (age 55) Also known as: Bobby Shazam

      I’ve always thought “Kid Rock” sounds like a competitor to Kidz Bop.

      It’s weird that his name is in that order. You’d think he’d be James Robert, because he looks like a Jim Bob more than anything, no offense to Jim Bobs.

    I beg to differ:

    There will be no punishment and no investigation after two Army military helicopters were flown by Kid Rock’s house over the weekend, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday. The Army had suspended the aircrew in Saturday’s incident, a U.S. official said earlier Tuesday, but Hegseth announced Tuesday evening that no suspension or punishment would be forthcoming.

    So they used public fuel to play political games with million dollar hardware taxpayers paid for.

      Pilots need flight time. Side benefit: if one goes down due to human error or mechanical failure, maybe it’ll land on him. Not a high likelihood but obviously higher than if they were somewhere else.

    The helicopter was a good thing supporting Kidd rock? Or was it an intimidating tactic?

      This is a good thing. In their eyes. Kid Rick is MAGA political mascot, a lot of military are MAGA. This is a disgusting waste of resources, propaganda, and publicity stunt that should be condemned. But this government is corrupt and disgusting, so it’s not.

      If ANY democratic president were to allow anything like what’s going on right now to happen, chaos would would be consumed within the US. The fact that it’s business as usual, is concerning.

    They should be kicked out of the military dishonorably. America doesn’t need them.
