U.S. Army officials have ordered an investigation into the activities of two AH-64 Apache attack helicopters that flew over Saturday's "No Kings" protest in downtown Nashville, then engaged in low-altitude maneuvers near the home of Kid Rock just north of the city.

The initial investigation appears to be focused, for now, on the maneuvers at the entertainer's so-called “Southern White House” in the Nashville suburb of Whites Creek.

"Fort Campbell leadership is aware of a video circulating on social media depicting AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the vicinity of a private residence associated with Mr. Robert Ritchie (also known as ‘Kid Rock’)," said a statement by Maj. Jonathon Bless, public affairs officer for the 101st Airborne Division.

Kid Rock's home is a 27,000-square-foot mansion patterned after the White House.

The White House is a 55,000 square foot mansion patterned after Leinster House. Also inhabited by a long succession of fucking losers.

Woah TIL…you think Trump has seen pictures of the Leinster House? lol

I’m fairly certain the primary reason Trump ran for president is that people kept saying he was a loser who would never be president. Particularly Barack Obama. So ya know, I’m just saying, don’t be surprised.

Yes that's what I tell people when they make fun of me.

'I'll run for president and you'll be sorry when I win!'!

I believe it was due to being a racist and a child rapist. Some people find those traits attractive.

Yes when did this Rock Child become such a piece of shit?

[–] calliope@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 points 20 hours ago

Birth?

He’s a privileged kid, the Ritchies owned local car dealerships and had tons of money.

He’s honestly perfect as a Donald Trump fan. He’s got generational money but he’s too stupid to understand he hasn’t actually earned anything himself.

been doing it for decades: see also the “game day flyovers” - it’s not “propaganda” if we can frame it as “practice” right?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

So all 'murikan movies with like military fighter planes don't actually rent them out at fair running-cost price??

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Lol top gun, battleship, the final countdown, etc get money or at the very least, free footage of incredible machines to make their movies seem like big productions for cheap. It's easy money baby!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 9 hours ago

All for the cheap price of literally handing final & executive control to the military.

Oh definitely.

There’s a reason Fort Bragg was famous in the 80s and 90s for literally thousands of high-powered weapons going missing.

There’s little oversight, they just don’t care. The military never sends its best.

They are using Apache attack helicopters on protests domestically? When did this start? Who is operating these things? The feds? Who gave them permission to fuck around in state business?

This story is fucked. The only good part is to know that kid rock does not live in Michigan anymore, stay out motherfucker.

A little on the nose, isn't it?
