God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since posting the video, the U.S. Army has launched an investigation aiming to determine whether or not the low-altitude flight path violated safely regulations and military policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Speaking on the investigation, Army spokesman Maj Montrell Russell said, &#8220;An administrative review is underway to assess the mission and verify compliance with regulations and airspace requirements. Appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to reports by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-link-tracking=\"InArticle|Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cdrmgvzm62no\" rel=\"nofollow\">BBC,<\/a> Maj Jonathon Bless, a spokesman for the Army&#8217;s 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, also spoke out on the issue. He shared, &#8220;We take all concerns regarding aircraft operations and their impact on the surrounding community seriously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Critics called the performative stunt a misuse of tax dollars, with many expressing anger that military equipment, fuel, and personnel were used for a private, theatrical display. The stunt has also raised concerns about the military appearing partisan, particularly as it occurred on the same day as anti-Trump &#8216;No Kings&#8217; protests.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Picture hitmaker&#8217;s post on X, many users shared their outrage over the display. One person asked, &#8220;Is this what the taxpayer money gets them? Ego boosts for orange nosed suck ups? Cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Another critic wrote, &#8220;Please tell me how standing in your shorts, being all giddy about a Black Hawk in front of your house, is any sign of respect? Please remind me where you served? If you want to salvage your career, stop making cringe videos.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While a third person sarcastically chimed in, &#8220;Nothing shows respect for our military like having them do a fly-by at your pool with two Apaches so you can wave and post on social media. (Operating expense is $5000 per hour, per aircraft, PLUS the crew&#8217;s time and pay).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And someone else questioned, &#8220;Who wasted thousands of dollars in fuel, maintenance and wages to go hover by his pool?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Express US has reached out to a Kid Rock representative for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.the-express.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Country star Kid Rock has broken his silence after a U.S. Army investigation was launched after two military helicopters were filmed flying low near his home.
