His family watched his fate then ok its release, thank you, and belated condolences. His last thoughts were probably of his fellow brothers there and then. Hope people attend memorial services on Memorial Day, too few attend. A hour of someone’s life is so little to give for the families of lost ones and honor them of their loss.
Hero is not a big enough word for John Chapman. He gave the last full measure of devotion for his comrades. Such selfless sacrifice is rare. Rest in Peace John Chapman.
Originally Chapman was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross/Air Force Cross for Extraordinary Heroism (2nd highest commendation in the US Armed Forces), it was not until 2018 his actions was more recognized then it’s upgraded to the Medal of Honor
John Chapman is from Springfield mass, me Brockton mass..They are on a mountain of course there is snow..This man is hero he fought for our lives and his comrades..
I have seen this a couple dozen times, and it shreds me. We all had friends over there, and one of mine was part of the QRF team. This is such an honorable video to post. Thank you so much.
The plan was for MAKO 30, the SEAL team Chapman was assigned to, to take the summit of Takur Ghar as an observation point. Razor 03 was suppose to insert the team but took hits from RPGs and heavy machine gun as it was landing. As Razor 03 was taking off after it got hit, Neil Roberts reportedly was shot and fell out the back of the helo. The crew chief tried to grab Roberts but he himself was pulled out and lost his grip on Roberts and Roberts fell. The crew chief was tethered so he ended up dangling below the helo while the pilot was struggling to fly the damaged aircraft. The aircraft lost all control 3 times due to loss of hydraulic fluid, but the pilot was able to regain control each time. Razor 03 eventually crashed land several miles away. Razor 03's wingman, Razor 04, linked up with the team and took them back up to the mountain to rescue Roberts and that's where this footage picks up. A lot of things went wrong that morning.
There’s a lot of bravery here but I want to highlight someone specifically another Air Force man named Jason Cunningham he was a pararescueman new guy. Jason was on the helicopter that landed with the rangers and began treating wounded on the impact basically. He was shooting, moving wounded to safer positions, shooting some more to go grab another wounded guy take them to cover he did this nonstop even when he himself was wounded. He then realized he was hit and the ranger medic wanted to treat him he refused medical care and continued to fight and take care of his patients. At the end of the battle he was exhausted and bleeding out his eyes were fading and 30 minutes before extract he fell asleep never to wake up again. For his actions he was awarded the Air Force Cross. The team leader also received the Medal of Honor the entire SEAL team had Navy Crosses unknown amount of bronze stars with a V for Valor and Silver Stars with V for Valor and most men got Purple Hearts which indicates you are wounded. Let’s just say it was hard to not award every man a MoH bc they all fought like enraged animals on Roberts Ridge. God bless them all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a guy who had been 'active' in this life I don't speak much 'about' anymore, I just sit here and think, but great hangin out with you. God bless you. Peace. The rescue of jessica buchanan
Said it before on another reaction. But its stand true so i will type it again. Litterally had to take the mans heart in order to stop him protecting his friends. Hero
So glad you reacted to this! I hope it didn’t sadden you. The man did everything he could, way more than he should have been physically capable of doing! Loved this so much again glad you reacted to it!
The mission was to retrieve the body of a fallen comrade. I'm just a surface navy vet. If my fellow vets can give me some rope here, I imagine John Chapman joined for similar reasons. He, we volunteered. And then you obey orders and happen to be in a hot spot. Your training kicks in and maybe say "we didn't train for this, exactly?" Even though my service was in complete safety, we trained for the what if? What John Chapman showed in his actions is what most vets might see as "Uncommon Valor. In the greatest tradition of the US." John Chapman has become a model for me to be better, more worthy of this life. I have a sticky note on my mirror that says "Find 2 ways to make the world better today then when you woke up, JACK ASS!" John Chapman, your spirit will live on. May you rest in the arms of our Lord. You certainly paid the dues.
In the Bible John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends". When a loved one is handed a folded flag it usually represents the sacrifice the service person has given. Until you have been handed a folded flag you only wonder what the family is feeling. RIP John Chapman God Bless America.
And to know that George Floyd's mother was presented with a folded American flag is disgusting. Floyd was a godless heathen criminal and could not hold a candle next to John Chapman!
One small point, MSgt Chapman was awarded one Medal of Honor, not two. The awarding of multiple Medals of Honor has not been allowed by law since 1919... #RESPECT
MSG Chapman’s actions were a huge influence on me joining the military after college and subsequently attending the Special Warfare Center. The strength of one to fight alone against the odds and the love it takes to sacrifice oneself for both your team and for men you never knew are characteristics that we as a free people should be tremendously grateful for
These are the people who deserve the moniker "hero". Not the quarterback who leads his team to victory, not the activist who whines about "patriarchy" knowing full well nothing will happen to him/her.
The Navy tried to block him from getting the the medal of Honor because they felt it made the seals look bad for abandoning him. They were more worried about optics than honoring this man.
Hand to hand Combat happens a lot more that most think , A lot happens during a firefight & things go bad in Sec's , In Vietnam i can't remember how many time Guys got into hand to hand even after shot , Because its no longer for Mom Apple Pie & the Girl next door & the Flag , its about your Brother on the right , left & rear & your fighting for your life too , Its all apart of War , Ugly BUT some time VERY needed to enjoy Freedom , Great Podcast a Hand Salute from an Old Vietnam Veteran , Keep watching true life video's & enjoy learning
Another informative reaction video suggestion is called *(The Fallen of World War II)* is animated video showing casualty numbers of every country & the numbers are extraordinary higher than most people know
Hey Maddie, I hope all is well. I'm a new subscriber and want to thank you for this reaction. It's not an easy one, but one that must continue to be told. “So long as they speak your name, you shall never die.” John "Chappie" Chapman was a dear friend, and I had the honor and privilege of serving with him. I will never forget him. Again, thank you for this. 'til Valhalla Brother.
I bought the book for every family member we are 6 and he said two dozen not one soo 1-20 Whith a hero heart to save tweentythree comrades is a flower to admire
The Navy Seals are combat trained warriors. Chaoman was Aur Firce and theres as a Controlker. His actions went betond heroism.. it is oretty rare for an individual to earn teo medaks if honor in ine combat iperation
Chapman is just as well trained as the SEALs. He was as much a Special Operations member as a SEAL or Green Beret. On another note, proof read before posting. You comment had as many typos as properly spelled words and it’s difficult to read.
THIS is the true American spirit. Sorry to say, it isn't in Washington, but only out where soldiers live and die, despite what cowards rule in government.
Medal of Honor Warfighter is hashtagged which is awesome but 2010 MoH game is actually about this battle. Guys who helped develop the game were there. However at the te I'm not sure they were allowed to address this incident in the game and the developers changed the story a bit, still being incredibly respectful. I can see the absolute shock on your face watching this. Thanks for honoring John Chapman.
This is why so many people have an issue with professional athletes kneeling for the national anthem. It is disrespectful towards soldiers like Chatman. He did what he did in this video for the country and that flag represents this country.
What they don’t tell you in this video is this battle is taking place on the top of a very high mountain. 3, 4 feet of snow, And bc it’s so hard to call in air support with the enemy so close, it was a CIA controlled Predator drone that was able to fire a hellfire missile and knock out the Main enemy bunker, this mountain is called Takur Gar

Hi Im new to the channel and Ill say this. I am in love with the variety you do for reactions. From Sabaton, to Drake, to PTX, thats insane and Im here for it. I have a suggestion. I am a barbershop singer and groups within the Barbershop Harmony Society have incredible performances. The two Ill recommend that I think youll get a good time with is Notre Dame Medley from Ringmasters in 2016 and Dance With My Father Again in 2019. Hope you consider it.
I have read the book, Alone at Dawn, I highly suggested it, I am almost done with "Code over Country", which is also very good, and will disappoint you, especially when you find out what happened after this battle "the Battle of Roberts Ridge" as this is known.
Not to take anything away from Chapman's courageous action but I have to wonder why, instead of engaging bunker #2, the team didn't fall back to cover and call for fire support from the Spectre gunship as soon as they discovered the SEAL was dead. Those gunships can deliver remarkably accurate, devastating fire.
They wanted to get some kills as revenge. Then they abandon Chapman leaving him to fight on his own. Then as a final fuck you to him they tried to block him from getting the medal of honor because it would make them look bad for abandoning him.
Those boys from the original 13 little states of the USA, would go anywhere to defend their little country, even if nobody ever bothered to attack it, except the UK, but they walk hand in hand on the sunset and exchange kisses.
@@MaddyReactions google mistranslating probably, looks like an adversarial propagandist trying to link the war in Iraq (which was imo unnecessary outside of deposing a violent dictator who regularly made use of nerve agents on kurds) and the war in Afghanistan where this event took place fighting the terrorist group known as Al-Queda headed by Osama bin laden after coordinating and orchestrating the 9/11 attacks.....and the car bombing of the World trade center in the 90s, who we had a legitimate reason to declare war on
There’s a lot of drama regarding this battle, to be fair to anyone who wasn’t there your just reading about it, bit one thing I do know is someone royalty messed up with the planning of this mission bc they were told the mountain top was enemy free, and with the technology at the time and considering how theirs just snow and rocks and a few pine trees, the enemy bunkers should of Ben not that hard to see.
RIP John Chapman, drinking a horn at the head table in Valhalla. Semper Fi to all my warriors out there until we meet in Valhalla. To drink in peace NEVER FORGOTTEN USMC
Even though World War I was a man's world, and women didn't really have much of a say back then. here's some equality for you. Of the 60 million soldiers that went to war in World War I, the female casualty rate in terms of military women was just over 7500. (9)Nine million male soldiers died during WW1. war is old men talking, and young men dying.
I'm sorry young lady Master Chief has nothing on John Chapman also I don't want you to get a wrong he wasn't stuck on that mountain with them they were stuck on that mountain with him
Medal of Honor It's a medal not really wanted. For sure many people died, most people who earn it have died during the deed. Thats why it is respected so much.
Every time I watch this, my eyes water. So proud to live in a country that makes men like him!
Hugs 🤗
Amen 🙏
Sadly! Our country no longer produces men like Chapmen anymore. It produces weak and soft emotionally stunted boys.
The country didn't make him.
Evolution made him
@@charlesmoore7032funny, it's the opposite of emotional stunted.
They have massive emotional abilities. You just don't respect that capability
and he left behind a wife and 2 small children. A true HERO.

No greater love can a man have than to give his life for others.

Bravery in the face of death is one of those rare traits that turn every day people into heroes.

Hero is not a big enough word for John Chapman. He gave the last full measure of devotion for his comrades.

There’s a lot of bravery here but I want to highlight someone specifically another Air Force man named Jason Cunningham he was a pararescueman new guy. Jason was on the helicopter that landed with the rangers and began treating wounded on the impact basically. He was shooting, moving wounded to safer positions, shooting some more to go grab another wounded guy take them to cover he did this nonstop even when he himself was wounded. He then realized he was hit and the ranger medic wanted to treat him he refused medical care and continued to fight and take care of his patients. At the end of the battle he was exhausted and bleeding out his eyes were fading and 30 minutes before extract he fell asleep never to wake up again.

Viet Nam was happening at this time too, it was popular with couples separated because of that. Saw that first hand.

These are the people who deserve the moniker "hero". Not the quarterback who leads his team to victory, not the activist who whines about "patriarchy" knowing full well nothing will happen to him/her.
