Hegseth Secures Reversal of Apache Flyover Punishments
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly urged reversing the suspensions of eight South Carolina National Guard Apache pilots who flew a low-altitude Fourth of July coast flyover; the suspensions were lifted within hours as the review concluded, following an earlier intervention over pilots near Kid Rock's Nashville home. The Guard described the action as a routine admin review, while lawmakers and the governor had criticized the suspension before it was overturned.
