So some Un American lib complained and the military puts these soldiers through the wringer? should have told the complainant to F off and have a nice day. If the governor had even one ball he would cease the nonsense

You are so right. McMaster is useless in something this easy… So glad he’ll be gone soon.

For cohesion, the military has specific rules to follow. It appears from this article that is what is being done. No big deal. While in the service I worked with one former pilot due to an unauthorized helicopter maneuver and met a former fighter pilot who lost his job due to an unauthorized stunt.

State AG has lifted the suspension. The falderal is over the “stunts” pulled by the pilots and the altitude/path they flew.

If you people believe that 1 person with a phone can trigger this kind of action you are all stupider than I could imagine. Well, in Russell Fry’s case that’s not unexpected.

Apache pilots got away with doing a flyby over Kid Rock’s house, they can do whatever they want in Pete Kegseth’s military.

I saw the flyover personally from the beach [of one of the sea islands between Charleston and HHI] and from what I saw they were no more of a threat to safety than the Coast Guard helos on patrol that day, or any typical urban medivac helo coming in and out of a hospital helo pad. But did the Coast Guard get a complaint? Of course not. ‘Cause the Che Guevarra Nose Ring Brigade only focuses their hate on military aviation, not anyone else’s, and before Canker Phlem chimes in that “its different” for the Coast Guard – when it comes to flight safety, it is not. Safety’s all about physics and kinetics, not the sticker on the side of the aircraft or the patch on the pilot’s flight suit.

And Will: nice touch with “beach Karen” – I’m stealing that.
