Report: top Army general told to drop Kid Rock chopper probe before firing
IN THE MIDDLE OF LOSING A WAR, Whiskey Pete appears to have fired General Randy George bc George refused to drop a probe into Kid Rock. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Crow. JAMES Crow. 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱100In a sane world, “Pete Hegseth fires Army chief of staff because of an investigation of Kid Rock” would be nothing more than a peculiar Mad Lib. Yet, here we are.
Artemis69Yikes. And the probe wasn’t into Kid Rock, it was into the military ppl who irresponsibly did a personal show for Kid Rock with extremely expensive military equipment
Helen Kennedy23I guess it's encouraging that I can still be surprised by these people.
Mark Brandriss20This is reminiscent of Stalin's political purge of the Soviet army in the 1930s, just a complete gutting of the nation's experienced military leadership and expertise in order to satisfy the leader's personal whims and paranoia. Historically stupid.
Brady United Against Gun Violence, NY19So…no na sec protocols for handling TS information, no safety protocols nor investigations as to how feckless occurs, no discipline, nor accountability for responsible leadership, just remove all the real warriors w/expertise at the top, & then bloviate. God help our military. gop congress did this.
Trump/GOP corruption threatens the world17Google: " obstruction of justice governed by UCMJ Article 131b of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ)... Specific Intent: The act is done with the intent to influence, impede, or obstruct the administration of justice"
Secretary of Defense Rock308Nice how the heads of the Army, Air Force, and Navy all got into their positions by selling out colleagues or appealing to MAGA culture war nonsense! Merit is back!

Eric Columbus96Like others, WaPo wrongly says Hegseth fired Randy George. *Trump* is the only one who could do so — the Army CoS is a presidential appointee, confirmed by the Senate. Obviously Trump did so at Hegseth’s behest, but even so. Someone should ask Trump about this! uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?r...
Based Mitogaku Understander Gigan17Worth saying that I’m sure this didn’t help George’s case for staying, but he’s more a casualty of the Pete-Driscoll civil war going on in the department atm
Sanho Tree14I bet Gen. George wanted to drop a grenade into Kid Rock.
Rosencreutz (alleged youtuber)11I love this stuff cause these self-annointed "strong men" really are making for the weakest of times but not in the way they imagine, where people get decadent and soft, but just through sheer corruption and extremely misguided "principles"
Jason Fry5It would be terrible if someone put together a montage of Hegseth missteps and bad headlines accompanied by George Thorogood’s “I Drink Alone.”
ｅｒｄｊｏｈａｎｎ5ich hatte nach dem ende von nu metal eigentlich gehofft nie wieder was von kid rock zu hören yet here we are
JoyousPanther5It’s really funny how the conservative movement in this country is obsessed with celebrity and the biggest stars who like them are Kid Rock and Scott Baio.
Shadow Hedgie 🌻4the scriptwriters for this season of America are really stretching the boundaries of credibility
The knives are out for LaNeve, and for good reason: he's the worst kind of careerist, a man who shanked not only GEN George but also GEN Mingus to even reach the position he would need to be in to force GEN George out. LaNeve is what we veterans call a "blue falcon."
Wesley Morgan24Notable that both George and Mingus had vastly more GWOT combat experience than LaNeve, measured both by time in Iraq/Afg and by the jobs they held during those tours and where and when they took place LaNeve’s *only* GWOT command tour was an 82nd battalion during the 2011 Iraq drawdown
