Whiskey Pete Hegseth on Tuesday overrode the U.S. Army’s suspension from flight duties hours earlier of two AH 64 Apache helicopter crews that flew around musician Kid Rock’s home in Nashville, Tenn., this weekend.

Kegbreath’s move, which also quashed an Army investigation of Saturday’s unusual flyby, came shortly after Trump was asked about the incident by reporters at the White House.

Trump said he liked Kid Rock, who is a prominent supporter of his, even as the president suggested the crews’ conduct was unauthorized. Kegbreath reversed it, anyway. Because HE-MAN!
