I Have followed Johns story for a while now. Read Alone at Dawn. As an Infantryman for 8 years (2001-2009) and Iraq War Veteran, the fact that Britt Sablinski got the MOH that really should have been Chapmans… and YEARS went by before this ever came to Light. Its very troubling. No I was not Spec Ops. Yes I was an Infantryman, Yes I spent 12 months in combat operations in the Baghdad AO in 2005, and as Scared as I ever was, as much as there was times I wanted to just Not suit up and go out, I did it every time. I can sit here and say you NEVER leave a fallen Comrade. Period. Let alone 2 of them.. (Seals had no idea if Neil Roberts was alive either). And they Left the Mountain without Either of them. Shameful. Fucking shameful.

Never let this go unremembered.

Thank you for this. The true Chapman story needed to be told (not the sanitized version).

Razor 01 pilot CW5 Greg Calvert landed the CH-47 with his wrist blown apart and spurting. All of these pilots were simply amazing aviators.

The seals love to forget about this

John Chapman is one of the most amazing courageous men to ever live. The drone vid is amazing and heartbreaking all at once. Every man has to wonder would I have the courage to do that. Big beef w the Navy on this one that held up his MOH! If anyone deserved one John did. RIP to a great warrior.

Bro you literally have my dream job. I enlisted in the navy but started getting sick right before boot but I went on anyway. I was in a pre-buds class in Great Lakes and couldn’t walk. Turns out I had spinal cancer and never got my shot at buds or being a SEAL. I would love to interview our modern warriors. Thanks for bridging the gap between warriors and civilians!

CCTs are our military’s best kept secret. They literally do it all. RIP

Can confirm: Alone At Dawn is an awesome read. Actually planning on reading it again thanks to this video. Rip MSgt. John Chapman

He's right. The USAF sucks at promoting battlefield heroism. I had a squad get denied the USAF Combat Action Medal but still earn the Army Combat Action Badge and two Purple Hearts.

One of the best books I have ever read. What an amazing story of a real hero. Also what makes this so amazing is the video of him doing what he did. Look up on youtube the drone video of what happened to John Chapman. Thank you for writing the book

Interesting video. Thank you for sharing this interview. God bless 🙏

David and Lt. Col. Schilling thank you both for the amazing interview and information with regards to this heroic American warrior.

I have 2 AF security forces troops who recieved closed head injuries due to mortars in Iraq and the AF refused to award Purple Hearts to them despite them still suffering the effects and both are medically recorded. But any C130 pilot who flies near a battle gets a bronze star.

Thank you for the amazing content🙏🏽

Chapman was truly a man amongst men.

Gotta read this book. I showed up to 1/75 a couple years after Takur Ghar and we always heard about the Navy holding back recognition of what Chapman’s heroics to cover their own asses. When you hear those stories from the time you’re a private it’s hard to know what’s the whole truth. With some of the SEAL teams you work with (not all of them by any means) you can see how something like this can happen.

Nice....Been connected witb Dan for several years...NICE JOB!

Agree that Air Force sucks at formally recognizing high achievement/heroism by Enlisted troops

PLEASE do not let this movie suck…..please make it as immersive and realistic as Black Hawk Down, and Saving Private Ryan. I cannot stand how cheesy most modern war movies are. Just make it look and feel 100% authentic, no cheesy exaggeration that takes away from the seriousness of it. That’s how you tell a serious war story.

Superb video, well deserving of MOH, glad he finally was awarded it! Authors did a great job on book too! Well done.

To drop a line of thanks. And let him know that it sold at least another book. And I feel it will make me sad but proud.

Seals left the man behind to die alone

Dan, thank you for your service.

Loved this book, it should be required reading for every young person in America.

It's an amazing read. Well written, totally breaks down the life of all of those operator's. You can feel it, smell it, live it right along with them.

From what I have heard was that DEVGRU were like fish out of water in the beginning of the GWOT in Afghanistan. They really didn't know what they were doing out there because they weren't trained like CAG, SF, or Ranger Battalion was in advanced infantry tactics and long term land warfare in valleys and mountains. Things have changed a lot with DEVGRU now but back then it was different.

Thank you!💯

Awesome book. Just finished it an am glad I had the opportunity to learn about this great American warrior. Im not sure how anyone can watch the video and not instantly conclude that MSgt. Chapman didnt deserve the MoH.

I eagerly await the production of the movie.

I would like to see Bart interviewed again to see why his story was so drastically different

Nice job, Danno!

The Air Force only cares about PJ/CCT when it comes to commercials for recruiting enlisted thrill seekers. Those career fields are not what Air Force Officers give two shits about because they only are concerned with pilots, most accurately the fighter community. Additionally, they are blissfully unaware of what the high speed units out there are doing because they have no OPCON of them.

Incredible.

By the way Dans book is riveting he is an excellent writer hats off to Dan!

Legend 🙏🏻

the Air Force hates its enlisted combat arms related service members, as if it would take away from the officers some how, its just the fact of the matter.

Having a war library of 517 books, with another 226 on my phone, this is EASILY one of the Top-5 books on war, battle and the Warriors, in this case a single Warrior, that I've EVER read. This interview, while an excellent synopsis of the event and the Man, does not even come remotely close to describing either the Man or the battle!! If you read no other war/Warrior book, READ THIS BOOK!! Excellent interview👊 Continued Success🍻 RP

As a Air Force enlisted retiree I can tell you why no metals awarded. Pilots. That's all the Air Force cares about. Pilots.

USAF Crew Chief F 16's 99 - 03 Thank you for your service.

It’s sad he was left for dead and then award one of those men the MOH. 🤦🏻

17:01 Please make sure the movie is made accurately to the incident.

Seals left him for dead? Good choice of words for the ones that love the lime light for being excellent warriors.

So to preface, I’m a prior enlisted Army Infantry Officer. Now that I have climbed the ranks and gotten to a position that I can actually see the corruption and fucking craziness that goes on in the higher echelons of the military, it’s mind boggling. Like he was saying, people trying to thwart the CCT’s MOH. I’ve seen it first hand. Not the Medal of Honor, but other awards and commendations that were truly earned on a combat deployment. I saw us internally fight a higher headquarters for our Soldiers to get the recognition they deserved. Like he was also saying, it was no secret what they had gone through. We had literal unbiased intelligence reports, sworn statements, the whole 9, just for SEVERAL high ranking officers to refute and dismiss these events. Like for no apparent reason. Everything was written correctly and actually happened. And I know of this happening all across the Army during GWOT. It is absolutely insane to me. In this instance, ITS ON VIDEO, and they still have the fucking audacity to fight it. It is what it is. What happened, happened.

Why did the seal team leader receive the medal of honor on the mission, who actually left John, why did he get the medal? He literally did nothing except withdraw and leave John behind!!

ASQD my Troop SGM watched the whole shit show and had no idea the SEALS would make a Hollywood Victory out of a complete failure

Other than Fearless (Adam Brown story) Alone at Dawn is the best post 911 book I’ve read. I like the way he tells the story of John snd the battle while he also tells the story of CCT. I knew nothing of CCT before this book. Tremendous book.

The two that he said he has personally seen their actions and deserving of the MOH are Delta Operators Randy Shugart and Gary Gordon during Operation Gothic Serpent. (Somalia)

It's because the Air Force leadership are pilots. Notice it's the enlisted people that don't get awarded the metals

Thank you Don Schellin

8:56 Secretary of the Airforce Debbie James, one thing about the Government and Military is she was not worried one bit about giving MOH’s to retired or fallen soldiers, it was her job to help with recruitment especially within a branch like the Air Force where most people don’t put Special Operations and Air Force in the same sentence even though they have CCT and they also have other tough jobs but regardless a cake eater like her has one thing in mind and that’s helping recruitment numbers especially because these past several years, numbers have gone down drastically in recruits.

The reason the AF does a shitty job of promoting top decorations ( especially to its enlisted) is because if it doesn't involve an Air Force academy graduate pilot, why bother. Sad but true!

Why wouldn't the USAF want to show the world the heroes of the USAF? It's for many different reasons...one of these is because most are enlisted people. Another is because the individuals in question is NOT a PILOT. The USAF has problems highlighting their enlisted people. I also know that there are some pilots who don't get very much of a highlight for great stuff they've done...I'm pretty sure that in one case it's because he's not an ACADEMY GRAD. Lot's of things add up to some really deserving people NOT getting much notoriety in the USAF (and in other services).

I am reading the book ALONE AT DAWN.

I first heard John’s name in Afghanistan. True warrior! 🙏

Reading the book, seeing the footage, and playing the game based off of the entire operation, the only other time I have had this gut wrenching feeling and utter disbelief and disgust is when I saw and heard what happened on the last days of the afgan withdraw.

It seems pretty clear he's not the biggest fan of Jake, most likely for however he approached taking another project. He emphasized "much bigger movie star" multiple times. Good. The person who you want for that movie should be a patriot and 100 percent committed to the legacy of TSgt Chapman.

Coming from a civilian…I watched the flir video when it came out years ago and watched all the documentary’s…NOBODY, especially civilians, could ever begin to fathom what that GREAT MAN had to go through in training, much less be in the position of the AMERICAN BADASS that he was that day! What a HERO! Most humans would’ve coward down! Amazing man!

I joined the US Army as a Infantryman in 2006. Seeing that video of that man charging the enemy trench to protect that chopper was so inspiring. It set a fire under me to join and fight for my country.

Was the ISR footage leaked first?

the path of a warrior.

Gid bless TSGT CHAPMAN... He was a beast and a true hero... Shame on those blocking his CMH. Being an AF vet of Somalia Bosnia Kosovo DS/Storm Enduring Freedom.. the AF is not about taking care of the NON FLYERS.. That's just their mentality. Those of us who chose AF as a career gladly volunteered/voluntold for Contingencies... are well aware of our missing documented valor... combat actions of early on to heroism... to include volunteering for AIRBORNE , AA and other schools not in our wheel house... WE WERE asked to do convoys in Iraq as we were never trained for that BUT WE DID IT ANYWAY... AF can keep those medals...we know what we did... again...if it's not winged flight bravery ... it's not news

I was shocked MSGT Robert Gutierrez on got the Air Force Cross. His wound alone should of put him out of the game.

Great vid, ironically I ordered the book just last night before seeing this vid today. Glad the true story of Robert’s Ridge is getting out. Brent Tucker (Delta) has a lot of interesting info on this event and others relating to questionable SEAL narratives.

Should of listened to Col Blaber

Chapman has balllllllllls like an Elephant.. Watched the video of John is very sad at the end but this dude is a Legend if not God Status!!

How are they going to make a movie based on John Chapman's actions without destroying the image of Seal team 6? They left him and one of them got the MoH for that. Yes, absolutely 'Alone At Dawn" is a story that needs to be told, but why was Chapman alone? The answer to that is why I don't see how the DOD let's this story be told.

I watched the Video of John Chapman Fighting on that Mountain.

For Chapman, it was just another day with a tragic ending. One of my platoon guys worked with him and have tremendous respect for him. For the squeals, another major fuckup with a book signing. Please don't take this as seal bashing. I worked with some great ones.

Sad to hear. Such an individual to die for a cause that was not worth nothing.

11:25 Rob Gutierrez seems like such a humble person. His stories are truly unbelievable. I would love to drink some bourbon with him!

Those who tried to block John Chapmans Medal Of Honor are truly un american!

While Dan is a gentleman and won’t say it I will. The SEAL community and the big Navy fought against John getting the MOH.

Why wouldn't the air force want to show the world the heros the air force put out this .these men go through the toughest training there is 2 years just to get through the pipe line .there like superman who don't get the credit for the work they put in .they put there life on the line every time they go out to save someone.

He was left behind!

Check out Combat Control Foundation and First There Foundation. Both of these non profits, support the CCT family. Alone at Dawn, is a great book and important story that everyone should learn. I've honestly purchased at least 10+ Alone at Dawn books and have given them away as gifts.

It's too bad that Jake G appears out of the running to star in the movie, as his experience playing soldiers (including as SOF) in film is invaluable.

Why don't they tell about BM2s story . He was my cousin and I've heard 4 different storys.i was navy the pmc s I was around their but would like to hear the truth.

I love U2..my fav band!!

I lost my luster for AF when they were awarding Bronze stars and awards for valor to drone pilots in Iraq.

Jake Gyllenhaal is not chopped liver.

Would love to see the names of those traitors that fought to have this guy’s CMH blocked!!! Would tell a lot about what really went down! RIP Mr. Chapman!!!

A book that’s actually true instead of the BS story of Marcus Lutrell

Oh imagine that seals doing something shady … I am shocked

Well let's not forget the Rangers that lost their lives that day too. Razor 2: Anderson and Goggins lost their lives that day too. However, what they did to Chapman was total BS. CCT and PJ's get my respect for what they do. They come when they are called.

ALgorithm.

Dont think you can get someone “much” bigger than gyllenhaal

thing is we are in a age of info now and all guys who was in during these times we are gettting age on us and alot is coming out, im not being ugly but damn 16 years to show footage we knew was there. keep exposing truths

There's a lot of troubling information coming out about the SEAL community. Hopefully these allegations will be investigated.

At some point there needs to finally be a change of culture in the SEAL community

If the video is real why when they landed did Chapman head to the bunker alone the squeals don't go with Chapman it looks like they went somewhere else.these things seem to happen alot when they when you send 5 guys to do a job that 20 guys should be doing.

Navy didnt. Made the Seals look bad leaving him

Seals fought hard against his medal

Medals of honor are political many many many men that deserve it will never get it

Why wasn’t he wearing a bullet proof vest? which would have stopped bullets to chest???

Naval infantry strikes again

Neil Robert’s wasn’t left for dead. He fell out of the helicopter when it was hit by numerous rpg and the pilots controlled crashed it a short distance away.

Seals left him, the seal should never of received the MOH. SAD......

1:30 to 1:33...uhhuh. NSDQ
