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 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.

[@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.

[@Dhopamine]

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."

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. They perform selfless acts for the sake of their comrades knowing full well their actions would likely be fatal for themselves. In ancient times these would be the heroes of old that poets would write about & bards would sing of for generations.

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.

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.

John Chapman is a name you can't forget, dude literally got a mortal wound right off the bat, killed some dudes, got left behind, woke up, engaged in HAND TO HAND combat, and killed some more dudes to save the people that left him. That's an actual hero caught on film!
