    On March 4, 2002, TSgt John Chapman and 6 Navy SEALs participated in Operation Anaconda, the objective of which was to disrupt Tal!ban and al-Q@eda forces.
    That night, the team was to fly in a Chinook helicopter to Takur Ghar Mountain in eastern Afghanistan to set up a observation post An AC-130 had scanned the area shortly before with thermal vision for hostiles, but could not pick up anything.
    However, insurgents had hidden in bunkers under the thick blanket of snow and took such heavy fire on the team's Chinook on approach that the electronics failed, a fire broke out and Navy SEAL Neil Roberts fell out of the tailgate. After the helicopter made an emergency landing about 10km away, the soldiers decided to voluntarily fly back into the danger zone to rescue their comrade.
    As soon as the team dismounted from the helicopter, it came under heavy machine gun fire and moved into position. Chapman, however, called in an AC-130 and then fought his way alone through the heavy snow to one of the bunkers, where he killed 2 enemy at close range. He then attacked a second bunker, where he was hit and collapsed. When yet another team member was shot, the squad leader decided to take evasive action, overlooking Chapman in the darkness and leaving him behind.
    The latter, despite his life-threatening injury, regained consciousness some time later, resumed the fight and shot an enemy who was rushing toward him. Although hit again, he wrestled down another insurgent in hand-to-hand combat. Hearing the Quick Reaction Force helicopter at dawn, Chapman charged out of cover one last time and drew fire to prevent the enemy from shooting down the helicopter. Completely blanked and after 16 shrapnel / gunshot wounds, Chapman finally suffered a final hit to the heart and died.
    The fierce battle on the hill continued into the evening, claiming the lives of 7 U.S. soldiers. Chapman was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in August 2018.

    I’m a retired Air Force PJ. I’ve been to takir gar, in anaconda,, knew John and I can tell you John’s mission that night was to retrieve the body of a slain navy seal. Nothing was going to stop that. Us AFSOC guys will never let our team mates down esp if we are embedded. We might be Air Force but those who know understand we will give you everything we got, so that others may live……we will never quit on you especially to retrieve a fallen special operator. I can tell you , John felt this was a sacred mission. He’d never quit and we’d never let you down.

    Hats off to you sir for saying exactly what happened. The Navy successfully BLOCKED the 2nd MOH because it would've proved that they left him behind, he only got approved for the one that saved the seals, not the one that saved the QRF. The Air Force fought for his MOH for 16 years. Once SOCOM knew he would get it, they quickly pushed the SEAL OIC MOH before approving Chapman's. Took about 6 months for his to go first before Chapman was approved. Shameful and disgusting from one of the world's best commands, to shadow a true hero that saved your men

On the other hand it pisses me off when I consider no one effectively holds the politicians , alphabet agencies, and generals accountable for having little respect for the lives and well being of those who volunteer to take their orders.

      my only comment: hats off to CHAPMAN. He is the hero. There can be no room for trying to save face like : cant admit we left a man behind; lets not draw attention to this situation. LUCK and WEALTH to the CHAPMAN family (they only get the fond memories of CHAPMAN; yes, others died. they are all important. Terrible reporting prevents us from knowing those names. But thanks to them too........ FAMILIES back home have nothing to savor from a piece of metal with a ribbon.

      @YHWHoverevery1 The taliban housed a group of people that killed thousands of US citizens and refused to hand them over repeatedly, so the US invaded and pushed al-qaeda and taliban forces out of Afghanistan but stayed to help rebuild and hunt down remaining taliban and al-qaeda members wich did result in the deaths of some civilians and anger at that is fair, but saying that the invasion was unprovoked isn't fair.

    26 years in, I've heard and watched this story countless times. ALWAYS brings up so much emotion in the form of respect for my USAF brother but also for the team that kept moving forward. They thought he was gone and made the call to protect the rest of the team, fall back and call in help. 110% the right call but try and tell them that. Then there is the family members that never volunteered or signed up to serve ... but still find themselves serving just as much as the rest of us. So much respect and LOVE for everyone touched by this.. and honestly if you are an American that is ALL of us. Love and respect to all my veteran brothers and their families.

    Usually I cry about shit or am moved to tears when I'm really tired. But this hit different. It's not because killing people makes heroes but because of the sheer commitment not to leave a man behind against all possible odds. I salute the immense bravery of these men, even if they fight in seemingly senseless wars because politicians decided to do so. And I even admit that I am somewhat jealous of the brotherhood these men have. I'm not even a US-citizen and live in Germany but since we are allies and you guys regularly help our troops I want to thank everyone for their service because you also got many german soldiers out of the grips of death.
