Kid Rock flies in Army Apache helicopter with Defense Secretary
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and musician Kid Rock flew together in U.S. Army Apache helicopters at a Virginia Army base on Monday. The flights came weeks after Army pilots faced criticism for flying Apaches near Kid Rock's home, an earlier incident that raised questions about use of military aircraft for private or political favors. Hegseth said he and Kid Rock went "for a ride" with Army pilots, a development that renewed scrutiny over access to taxpayer-funded helicopters for nonoperational trips.
I can think of only one good reason to take Kid Rock up in a helicopter

Fred.25Would a Kid Rock fall faster than a Kid Feather?
Brian Kemper24To lower him into another helicopter directly below it?

You get: Healthcare cuts Kid Rock gets: Helicopter playdate funded by your taxes
❗️ WE’RE NOT GOING BACK❗️6He literally just spit in every Americans face.
@MarshmallowPeep4Why in the world is the secretary of defense going on a joy ride with my money let alone a civilian.
NoOneAtAll2Did he get some of that billion dollar king crab spread while our sailors go hungry? Enquiring kinda want to know!

Raw Story: Pete Hegseth’s announcement of a helicopter ride with Kid Rock sparked sharp criticism. Critics called the ride a waste of taxpayer money. Why are taxpayers funding PR stunts with the military to make Kid Rock seem relevant? #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Jim Emmerling2C’mon! Nobody old enough to have 8 Tracks ever listened to his crap. We had good taste.
iwanttobecanadian.bsky.social2Both of these fucking drunken whores belong in jail or an asylum. Either would work.
Granny Zee2Trying so hard, But one must have talent to be relevant. Kid Rock just can't compete

Robert James Ritchie aka Kid Rock is 55 years old. His career peaked in 1998 – that was 28 years ago. The average age of enlisted service members is 27.
Chad Loder230None of these service members knows who the fuck Kid Rock is, or was. The equivalent in 1998 would be like bringing in Norman Greenbaum to address the troops

SquidTips - Aj/Alex/He🏍 🦑🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈2I love excuses to post this Willie D quote about Kid Rock
Whiskey Pete Kegsbreath took his friend, Kid Rock, for a ride with Army Apache pilots on the taxpayers’ dime only a month after killing an investigation into the two helicopters flown close to Kid Rock’s home. We’re paying for a helicopter taxi service for Kid Rock. #ProudBlue #Hegseth #KidRock
Bubba’s Gigi12More wasteful spending. Shocker? NOT!
mimi0711.bsky.social11WTAF is wrong with these people? Asking for a nation of taxpayers.
RFK Brain Worm Jr.9Pete Hegseth and Kid Rock have man crushes on each other and it's honestly one of the lamest things I've ever seen and that's saying a lot given this regime.
California Dreamin’5Kegstand continues to live as a tv personality. However, I don’t think the Murdoch’s would let him go pickup his racist buddy in the FOX PJ 🛬 GROSS abuse of power and disregard for the seriousness of the mess trumps war has brought upon the whole world 🌏 #fools 🤡 @ps1974.bsky.social @misskitty.art
@KeepItBlueDems.bsky.social5Your taxpayer dollars paid for this.
Kestawind4LOL Skid Rock Hope the US can get their shit together.
That Damn Cat4Kid no talent must have a great cooler full of hooch
ladyvanilla.bsky.social4honestly, I’m disgusted that our paid professional military members think its okay to choose sides politically in public. they are a disgrace to the uniform.
calinewfie.bsky.social4Look at those stupid ass military people in the photo, how gross this all is!
EmmyEm 🇺🇸+🇬🇧💙4Is Kid Rock his supplier?
RFK Brain Worm Jr.4Why does America have to support Kid Rock like this? Can't he afford to pay for his own big boy outings?
K9HasMyHeart3You wonder why we're losing to Iran when we have schmucks doing joyrides
cpadick.bsky.social3What audition did Kid Rock pass to become one of the Republicans’ mascots? I’ll bet Ted Nugent is jealous.

Veteran Fighting Fascist3Kid Rock is a loser. I'm sure a majority of those pilots want nothing to do with that LOSER!
GrizLiz🐸😎🐸2What a bunch of hooey!
jackiefromtexas2I just don't get it. Kid Rock?? Kid Rock??? Perhaps his tens of fans might be impressed but this is a massive waste of taxpayers money.
Carlotta Michel2We are a nation of douchebags.
Diane2Hegseth fangirling Kid Rock would be hilarious if we weren't paying for it. He who tries too hard to project masculinity is a fraud.
Christine Cooper 🇨🇦🏴2This is just beyond cringe and embarrassing. Imagine having Kid Rock standing up speaking to military members. Not to mention, how inappropriate.
sunchaser12.bsky.social2Make a wish for kid and his career
stephthethird.bsky.social2I can't imagine having so little to do or being so friendless that hanging out with Kid Rock on purpose sounded like a good idea lmao.
William’s Incredible Dream2And the CRACKERS rejoice! 😎
Oiva2Every person in uniform that took part should feel stupid and ashamed.
Richie Newport2Seems to me that Kid Rock is perhaps only a phone call away from being able to order a military strike on anyone who criticizes him. How soon before this actually happens?
D.J. Diebold2F Kid Rock. Ignoramus!!! 🥶🥶
Kid Rock took a field trip... in a military helicopter. Sarah Matthews breaks down Pete Hegseth's prioritization during this time of war, putting off his responsibilities to give his buddy Kid Rock a tour of the Defense Department.
scottinjupiter2“Celebrity” is doing some heavy lifting.
Son Of Man2The least serious government we have ever seen. 93 billion on lobster, iPads, and helicopter rides but nothing to help the American people.
Craig Williams2Our tax dollars at work. Kid Rock doesn't deserve a ride in a '76 Chevette with a missing rear floorboard, let alone an Apache helicopter.
"Fresh out of one scandal involving an AH-64 Apache helicopter gunship, Kid Rock has allegedly been treated to a personal joyride from the 'secretary of war' himself."
AltSpaceForce 🚀🇺🇲23The CPFH (Cost Per Flight Hour) for an Apache ~$5k. That's about 5 months of SNAP benefits for a hungry family - per hour of joy riding for the lulz.
Peregrinamom (La Jefa now)9How much did it cost us? Sheesh!
dot1031.bsky.social6“It’s not clear whether the alleged ‘incentive flight’ on two AH-64 Apache gunships were funded by American taxpayers” Well who else would pay for it?
tootall4.bsky.social4Hmmmm wouldn’t DOGE have something to say about waste, fraud and abuse?
philrv.bsky.social3"incentive" for what? And why do we have to rely on a UK media source to tell us about this? Not a beef with The Independent by any means...
jayjohns69.bsky.social2It's a disgrace for someone who has never served or even planned to serve to get that free ride Some freshman in High School might have been inspired to enlist with a free chopper ride
Also "everybody calm down" and shit like Kid Rock hanging out at the Pentagon are diametrically opposed and it would be nice if the media acknowledged that
Flannel, Steady Diet of5Lowering the rhetoric is incompatible with the shit these fools do every day owning the libs is their only skillset
Beast (Frasier’s version)3At least their official mascot for Music is a doofus best known for a 30 year old jock jam.
Giligadi2The media is in on it. Fucking normal has left the building forever. This shitty, fucking impossible sounding timeline is ours now. America has hit it's last lick.
