This one always gets me a little bit
And then the SEALs tried to slander him and block his MoH
Isn’t there body camera footage of this one or am I think king of another ambush?
Hit with 16 rounds *and* random bit of shrapnel, dude was operating in full adrenaline mode.
i’ve seen this footage so many times but I’ve never understood why they were dropped there in the first place and why the air support seemed secondary.
Brave man.
I’m glad the truth came to light for him.
Navy SEALs and fucking up an operation in Afghanistan. Name a more iconic duo.
Evidently Ron Howard is directing a movie about Chapman called „Alone at Dawn“ starring Adam Driver and it’s in post-production as of March 1st, 2026.
Good director and good lead actor. We should be seeing this soon.
*Edit: The more I read on this too, Anne Hathaway stars as an intelligence officer who pushes for Chapman to get the MoH. So, by the sounds of it, this won’t be flattering for the SEALs mentioned in the comment section.
There’s a podcast out there that refutes this version of the events. I think it’s Tier1 Podcast
He did his duty and i respect him for it, but this just seems like an intelligence/surveillance fuckup. What was so important on this mountain top that 4 2,000 pound bombs couldn’t not have fixed?
Absolute hero. I had the honor of being on the team that did the FMV analysis on this back in 2017 in support of his MOH packet.
