Memorial Day Special: John Chapman and the Battle of Takur Ghar
This is a story that was almost never told. Please like, share, and subscribe.
In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,500 foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of Navy SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate.
Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness alone, with the enemy closing in on three sides.
John Chapman's subsequent display of incredible valor -- first saving the lives of his SEAL teammates and then, knowing he was mortally wounded, single-handedly engaging two dozen hardened fighters to save the lives of an incoming rescue squad -- posthumously earned him the Medal of Honor. Chapman is the first airman in nearly fifty years to be given the distinction reserved for America's greatest heroes.
Gold Star sister Lori Chapman joins Jeremy Slayden to discuss why this story was suppressed for so long, and the controversy surrounding it that points to a larger problem of corruption within the US special forces.
