A well-known singer recently shared a video capturing an Apache attack helicopter soaring above his Nashville residence, as he stood by in salute.
He accompanied the Instagram post with a caption criticizing California’s governor, stating, “This is a level of respect that the so-called governor of California will never understand.” He concluded with a patriotic note, “God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her.”
In response, the U.S. Army has launched an investigation to determine why the helicopter was flying so near the musician’s home.
A statement from Fort Campbell officials acknowledged the situation: “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’.”
“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’),” a statement read.
“The command has initiated an investigation to review the circumstances surrounding this activity.”
The Army is also being asked about why military helicopters flew low over a crowd of anti-Trump protesters that same day.
“Our pilots do regularly fly routes outside the Fort Campbell area,” the Army spokesperson said.
“We just don’t know if it was incidental or if it was deliberate.”
