March 31 (UPI) -- Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday that helicopter pilots who conducted a flyby of musician Kid Rock's Nashville estate over the weekend would not be punished, an abrupt reversal of the U.S. Army's decision to suspend the Apache helicopter crews amid review of their conduct.
"@USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED," Hegseth said on X. "No punishment. No investigation.
"Carry on, patriots," he said.
He also thanked Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, a vocal ally of President Donald Trump.
