Personally I think that's what most country's fear. Of course the big military spending and training plays a part. But you can't buy that kind of bravery. That man cared so much about his brothers that he abandoned any chance of surviving to give another man a chance at survival.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

Thats disgusting. I have heard so many stories now of cover ups happening when people get injured or left behind when they weren't supposed to Edit: watch this if you haven't already. I had it saved to my military playlist. kzbin.info/www/bejne/emjXm4mZZtZqpNU

[@susanmaggiora4800]

Jupiter Fox! And I don’t get that. Why hide it? It’s the fog of war. Mistakes & accidents are bound to happen, especially during night, at high altitude. Covering it up brings even more attention to it. It sucks he got left behind, but I never thought it was some unpardonable sin. It just makes no sense to me.

[@TriXJester]

Yeah the actual team did nothing wrong, they had to assume their friend was dead and if they stayed they'd be dead too. Thats just survival.

Another tragedy, is that 3 or 4 guys lost their lives, trying to retrieve the body of one.

Not surprised. Naval Leadership just like the other branches are political a-holes anymore. The warrior ethic of the military is no longer. Except for special forces of the branches, the main military is PC social justice experiment to appease Congress and the left libtard caucus.

[@lidlett9883]

We do know Chapman's last thoughts. "You have to go through me. To get to my brothers" I tear up everytime I watch this footage and I recall a quote of G. Patton. "Do not morn the deaths of such brave me...Instead thank God they ever existed "

[@tamberlame27]

I have no proof of this but the cynical take on this is that they go back primarily to recover the sensitive equipment the soldiers might have. Like radios and other tech like night vision.

[@powerstarscreem3254]

@@tamberlame27 officially, the government cares about equipment. As someone who is currently in the United States Marine Corps, and has served 2 tours in Afghanistan with 1 one them qualifying me for my combat action ribbon, you don’t leave a man behind. It’s a band of brothers, and if a fellow Marine, Soldier, Sailor, or airmen falls, I will do my damndest to make sure your body is coming home with me.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

@@cloudburst98 I'm sure every one of those soldiers that went back for their comrade would do it again.

[@gregh7400]

You should read "Alone at Dawn". It clears up a few things. This video was part 2 of the mission. The first part is when Neal Roberts fell out of the back of the helo as it was hit, attempting to land. The helo was so shot up, the pilot had to return to the base. Chapman and the SEALs agreed to return to rescue Roberts, so they weren't going back to retrieve his body or sensitive equipment. In the words of the team leader, they were going back, "to rescue Roberts and kill everyone on the mountain." Unfortunately, by the time they returned, Roberts had been killed and the enemy fighters were waiting for them. The SEALs believed Chapman was dead, so they withdrew. Unfortunately, the ensuing coverup engaged in by SEAL leadership makes them look bad. Even Chapman's widow doesn't blame the SEALs for leaving under these circumstances.

[@neutyr]

There is a joke among us US service members that the Air Force is the chair force. Well it's TRUE. Chapman's happened to be a Throne

[@jackson2308]

People who joke about the air force don't hold the PJs on the same level. But you right 👊🏼 this is what he did to save his brothers. Can you imagine being friends with that guy though? Few people will live to understand a love for their friends the way he did for his.

Our guys in special forces are highly trained brave badass dudes. But even among these elite men there are those, when in the middle of the absolute worst of it, somehow find within themselves the determination to rise even higher.

In ancient times these would be the heroes of old that poets would write about & bards would sing of for generations.

Often times in the interviews with the Medal of Honor holders and even other accolades, they don't think they did anything special. They are really humble saying it's just their job. They take the medal not for themselves but in memory of the men who didnt survive. A really good quote is from Major Dick Winters from Easy Company. His grandson asked him if he was a hero. He replied with "No I am not a hero. But I served with a company full of them."

There was one British SAS soldier suggested to be given the US Medal Of Honor due to his heroic intervention at an Afghanistan fort where hundreds of prisoners successfully overthrew their captors(which included CIA officer Spann, Spann's CIA partner survived) but it was rejected because traditionally only Americans can receive it. Usually in that case a secret commendation is given.

He did it because he promised his guys he would if things got hot. Since he went in against orders during war, his only reasonable expectations were to die in the attempt or be arrested, courts martialed and sentenced to years in prison if he didn't die. But, he gave his word to his guys so in he went, damn the consequences.

I’ve done some crazy shit, working on helicopters in Iraq and Afghanistan as a marine, easily coulda been killed/maimed as a result, but no where near him, only hope I hold up and do the right thing as he did, even though I believe I would. Never know till you’re there. True dedication to his buddies.

John Chapman is the embodiment of every Chuck Norris joke ever. I mean seriously. Can they carve John Chapman's face on Mount Rushmore? No because the granite isn't hard enough for his beard. Okay ill see my way out now.

I want to believe God told him he wasn't done yet that he still had work to do

[@blckgrd]

John Chapman died in that first firefight, then convinced God Himself that his team needed him more than God needed him in heaven at that moment and to send him back for a few more minutes until the job was done.

I get chills when I watch this. That man had balls bigger than the planet.

What an amazing man giving so much of himself ...

From American Soldier by Toby Keith explains perfectly what these men think "I don't want to die for you but if dien is asked of me I'll bear that cross with honor cause FREEDOM DON'T COME FREE!" JOHN CHAPMAN IS THE EMBODIMENT OF WHAT A AMERICAN SPEC OPS OPERATOR IS!! RIP TO HIM AND ALL THE OTHER TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOTS THAT GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR US!

I wish the video clearly stated that John Chapman was not a Navy Seal. He was an Air Force Combat controller who had no obligation to be on that mission. He volunteered to go to try to save Seal Neil Roberts.

[@FBIAGENT725]

it does in the beginning of the video

[@chasejordan22]

@@FBIAGENT725 It says real quick that John is a combat controller. 90 percent of people who watch this think he was a seal. Only saying that because of the insane number of reactions to it Ive watched. Point is though, he volunteered to go. Video doesnt say that part.
