Royal Marine Reacts to The First Medal of Honor Ever Recorded! 

Amen.

@CREAM Most likely a typo, moron.

Died a warrior in battle, sure beats dying of cancer struggling to breathe in a hospital bed.

Well said.

@CREAM whoops

Hahahahhahhaha

That's funny, but I feel jokes aren't needed now

Bruh

It is important but it kinda funny I feel bad

😔

This

U copied

@@Mr.Armada no

Copied

At this point which is more important acknowledging a legend or saying something is copied because , you know, out of 7.4 billion people it's not impossible for two people to write something similar to each other....

Rip and tear until it's done.

Yes R.I.P.

@@frankxoxo8653 😞

May their soul rest in peace.

And those who do come home

God bless both those who gave everything and the ones who come home and left part of themselfs back on the battlefield. Though the extent of their sacrifice will never be truly know by anyone but themselves and their fellow soldiers it will, and must, always be deeply appreciated.

Damn. Great quote.

That just doesn't make any sense 🙁

@@meltingeinstein3012 you must be young or not American

And now our flag is being used for toilet paper, for those shitting on every patriot who ever died for it. Anyone tired of all this winning yet?

David Amaya these soldiers have families yet lay their lives on the line man. I’m sure your country has a military too or government that’s done wrong, but who’s hasn’t? You can’t control that.. Instead, pay some respect to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep their people safe. It’s the least you can do while sitting on your ass.

Real talk though, he was already fatally wounded, must have been shock or adrenaline that kept him going. The man used the last of his breaths to keep fighting, to save his comrades. Eternal Respect to that man.

@@vinokai Even though the adrenaline was the only thing keeping him conscious, the decision to keep fighting was all his. It's not likely he could have known in the low light conditions of early morning the extent of his wounds, so even knowing he was wounded I doubt that the thought "I'm going to die anyway" was in his head. That means Chapman was fighting 100% out of the goodness of his heart and the duty and respect of a soldier. I wholeheartedly agree that he deserves eternal respect.

As navy seal Marcus Luttrell said, the only way to break a navy seal is to kill them

@@jakebcroy4560 Chapman was not a seal, but he was in the Air Force tier 1 unit though, a bad ass indeed

Auctualy

Damn

And it was give of yourself btw but u a legend for knowing that

Really?

But he took other people's lives while saving other lives

rwes2940 yes. Yes I do

That’s badass!

Amazing!

Stolen Comment from the original video, still badass, but come up with your own.

@@socalmx255 How amazing would it be if this was actually Chuck Norris' page.

God had nothing to do with it its was his actions and sacrifice that saved the many lives of these men hate when people thank God

nicolas kelly OMFG take the damn quote softcock

@@calebh6244 well its not a good quote if it said thank god and the man who let such men live then yes thats better but it just outright ignores their sacrifice

CanadianBluePants no it doesn’t. You are interpreting something that isn’t there. He is simply saying celebrate their life for what they were instead of mourning that they are gone. It is just a different way of looking at the world. Both are ways one can honor a person...it’s just a matter of perspective. Think of how the Druids deal with a persons passing vs the Roman Catholic vigil. Same thing.

@@wherearewe4x442 Don't be so literal. Maybe a little modification to the quote would be more palletable: Something forms a being who chooses to run into harms way. It may be genes, parental instilled morals, the death or abandonment of one or more parent that forced him or her to be the family leader and care for the little ones. Or maybe, that's just the way he was. Whatever the cause or reason, we who remain are lucky to have him or her around. or, more succinctly... Thank your deity (Yahuway, God, Allah, the gods of Buddhism, chance, or whatever you believe) for giving such people who would die protecting us (whoever 'Us' is). Still pretty wordy, how about... "...we should thank God that such men lived."

fucking same, ive watched this before and didnt cry at all, probably because i skimmed through it and missed a lot of the small details but damn, 10 minutes later and im still dropping tears lol

I cry at the end everytime I see this

x GeneraI Political warfare lol. You have the nerve

@x GeneraI talk all the shit you want. When he was there, on that mountain, regardless of the reason why he was there, he was fighting for his boys. And there isnt a greater love than that

@x GeneraI thats the difference then. Dont downtalk people that would sacrifice themselves for their friends or in his case, people he didn't even know if you wouldnt do the same.

I didn’t know about him and I’ve watched this video so many times and watched so many react to it. I think this is my second time watching this specific video. Is there any documentaries about him or anything? Lately I’ve been really interested in videos like this. I wanted to join the military but I’m severe chronically Ill and can’t. So I want to learn all I can.

No doubt Neil is a hero for his actions that day! As well as Chapman for his!

since when was he an IT

Kristoffer Eriksen the amount of injury he survived makes him a terminator in my book

Kristoffer Eriksen He’s not calling him it. He’s saying that’s what it took to take him out

Do these guys carry epinephrine sticks on them? I’ve heard of cases in Iraq where AQ fighters injecting themselves with Epi after getting shot up to keep on fighting, was wondering if the seal team does the same.

@@waterbottle9222 shot through the heart and you're too blame, darlin you give love a bad name, you promise me heaven then you put me through hell

He's the Original Superhuman ;)

Remember this is 5 months after September 11th. When the second plane hit Air Combat controllers literally walked into the locker room to assemble their gear. THEY not Marines are the first in. Their motto is literally First There. He wanted the enemy to understand that Americans are willing to fight. THEN when he saw the copter coming in his rationale was he was going to die anyway he didn't want to go to his grave knowing he let those men die. Sun Tzu talks about being on deaths ground. When a man realizes he has nothing to lose he fights the hardest.

People like this we all are, those who didn't have that much to spend knows the valuable of hard work, get almost killed it surely happens all the time in whatever situations of the day. We don't considere us as hero sometimes because we think that this is something normal to do.. But we all are soldiers from our wars :)

Yeah must be great going to kill people in some foreign country for no other reason than economics. What a hero.

@@kerime.7861 Um..... you know Afghanistan was a direct retaliation for 9/11, right?

@x GeneraI, no. We fight fire with fire and that is what brings you peace. Imagine if the US was weak. We'd be neck deep in terrorist rn. P.s. we'd be in some real trouble if we had dragons, so idk if you'd want that in your town. Have you ever played Skyrim? Imagine if you WEREN'T the dragonborn...

Bad times make good men, good times make weak men, weak men make bad times.

Alexander Nah russia or china would’ve swooped in and took over if you were weak

x GeneraI imagine thinking peace is free.

YOUR DAMN RITE! AMERICAN STRONG! STAY FREE! LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!

Brandon Fuchs it feels bad to see someone go like that

not even those COD games could simulte it

I think he knew he was dying. There’s no changing that. But he could change who DID go home

@@Kaadeeem absolutely true brother. At that point he was fighting to make sure his brothers went home and that is why he stands guard at the gates of heaven now. Absolute beast of a man.

There’s countless stories of soldiers going above and beyond for their country and their brothers in arms. There was a gurka that literally had his entire hand blown off by a Japanese grenade and held off an entire assault by himself and his bolt action rifle with the only thing close to his position was the kukri he used to mark where the enemy shall not pass saying the phrase “come face a gurka”

Crazy Kiddos the soldiers creed

HOOAH! 75th! RANGER UP!

Only fallen comrade left behind was him

Dildo Swaggins before he was even fully dead he was left behind

hell yeah

This is dumb quote and out of date. It downs plays the teamwork and skill of operators in the field. The only that separates Chapman from his teammates is the circumstance. Anyone of them would have done the same.

@@Kay0Bot I'm pretty sure they wouldn't, depends on the person and most wont do what Chapman's decisions were. He is a warrior

@@thatguydonut6566 ... They , being his teammates and other special forces of other branches, wouldn't do the same in his situation?! They risk their all their lives to go save one downed person. I guess I fail to explain why this quote doesn't apply to special forces... GG

@@Kay0Bot I said that the majority wont. I'm talking about the people. Theres still about 10 to 20% of people that will that are in the military it's just that Chapman was one of those percent.

@@Kay0Bot only 15-20% of US soldiers fired their weapons in combat in world war 2, according to an Army study. Less with the actual intention to kill. I don't think it's so much downplaying the teamwork of war, obviously anyone on a SEAL team is a badass. But me or you in that position? I have no shame on admitting id literally shit my pants.

The opposite... SEALs and the Navy fought the fact and fought the Medal of Honor to preserve their image. Read in to it more, it was pretty disgraceful, to be honest.

@@gnomish844 I'm not talking about the institution or the higher ups in command. I'm talking about the guys that were on the ground WITH him. Those guys had to have been devastated once they heard the news.

@@SpencerKelly93 -- The unit leader testified that he checked on Chapman and confirmed he was dead before making the decision to retreat. That clearly never happened. I'm also talking about the boots on the ground. They doubled-down and went in to image protection mode.

Semper Fi

I also am a US Marine, 0341 (Mortarman) Bravo Company/3rd Battalion "The Balls of the Corps"/1st Marines . And like you, I had the honor and good fortune to serve along side 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland "THE BLACK WATCH" in Fallujah. I never had the honor to meet MSgyt Chapman he was defiantly SQUARED AWAY!!! Mission and Team 1st, self 2nd!!! May God bless him and take him into his his almighty embrace and everlasting Paradise.

Thank u for your service sir. All of us Americans, me included will never forget. Also, as an immigrant who is now an American citizen, my family is grateful . My father was a child during WWII in the Philippines and American soldiers saved him from Japanese soldiers. He actually saw a Japanese soldier commit a kamikaze (bombed himself) because he didn’t want to be captured by American soldiers. So, if my father died that day, my siblings and I would’ve never exists. He’s the only boy in his family and his sisters never had kids. I’m only 42 but I’ve always loved my Dad’s WWII stories and all the veterans I’ve talked to since then, because without their sacrifices more people would’ve lost their lives. That’s why I will always remember.

He didnt die he got called upon by Oden himself to help keep Asgaard safe. As shall he be remembered by this glorious day.

Thank u for ur service

Good doom reference

Damn now I wanna play Doom....

I thought it was more like a dozen teas. That's a heavy honour

I never knew the British equivalent. That's great to know.

Ahh so to get 2 of them that's impressive

The video is unclear about that- he got one, the Air Force version, posthumously. No one has gotten two in over a hundred years - and many of those who did in the First World War are cases of a soldier or marine given both the Army AND Navy versions for the same incident when the forces were fighting together. I think the “two” mentioned in the video, and the joint nature of the battle, means that theoretically another branch could nominate him, but two for the same battle is frowned upon nowadays (there was actually regulations against it until recently).

Greg Weatherup wasn’t the leader at Belleau Wood given like 4?

Carkua pretty sure that SEAL team leader claimed he had checked Chapman’s pulse before they left, if that’s true the SEAL who got that MOH is a piece of shit and doesn’t deserve it

​@@HeyImTiP I would say its a lie to cover his own back for abandoning his man. They set up the whole operation to save another man and abandon this hero. a piece of shit is right

As the saying goes, no man gets left behind. Chapman would have known this. What people don’t realize is that when he woke up after having been shot the first time, he probably didn’t think he had been abandoned but rather that everyone else had been killed. He was willing to die for his brothers because he thought they had done the same for him. Unfortunately for Chapman he fought to the death for brothers who abandoned him and tried to cover up his heroic actions. The ultimate discredit to a great man. Thank god the truth came out and the real hero was recognized.

@@andrewwebb-trezzi2422 Jeez didnt think about it that way thats terrible

Jeff Davis you could find an official report on it online.

On some level I actually believe this. He was said to have been mortally wounded to the point the SEALS thought he was already dead. He was bleeding badly and woke up hours later, didn't speak and just went full out killing Al Qaeda's most experienced fighters? This man was like some kind or revenant.

@@Adino1 I would assume it was a kind of "I'm doomed." feeling, where he knew trying to save his own life would risk the lives of others, so if he's going to go down, he's going to take every single fighter down with him

@@Adino1 In the book the Team leader actually checked Chapman's pulse and he said he didnt feel it. Thats why they left him. Its a gut wrenching story.

You know that you just said something very powerful and important! That is certainly approximately what took place. Most definitely and thank you for enlightening others who may have never experienced you know know a death and come back experience of such and that quick conversation with the highest most powerful entity to exist. Thank u my hair still stands up back of my neck

​@@drayton904unfortunately as the video shows Slab never returned to johns position. I'm his own aar he stated that he determined death because the laser stopped rising and falling. The place he marked as checking chapman was where Roberts's body was found. As shown in the video the seals crawled over Roberts body as they exfilled. Chalk it up to dog if war.... Slab would have stayed if he had known Chapman was alive they all might have perished but he never would have left that peak if he thought Chapman was still alive

Cptchurch33 hooah

Most military members are vile, and headed for a devil's hell.

@@filoIII I know because saving others lives is now evil...

@@filoIII your words are ironic, as they reflect on you, and not these soldiers

@@jadonclow1864 I've been there. Done that. I know where I've been.

Sub if gay and if not gay yeah I think that in MoH Warfighter they put in this scene in a mission and Rabbit is Chapman

@@pichibomb475 There is no scene with rabbit in MoH warfighter, you meant MoH 2010

HOORAH!

For all those guys! God bless!

Amen....

And so it was

Gunsite Prayer, very appropriate.

AMEN!!!

Amen, massive respect for Chapman. I’m not willing to give a crumb of bread to my brother and here’s Chapman giving his life for people he doesn’t even know.

Yea but Superman manages to come back to life... :|

You literally missed the perfect chance to say captain america and I've never been more disappointed

@@DJC_2003 I'm sorry I wasn't thinking straight I'll do it now for you

It really does. 💯

I was gonna comment and say “it really does” but then I saw someone else said it word for word. I agree with you both- once you hear this story it’s hard to get it out of your mind.

Damn that hit hard

William Elliott Whitmore fan I see

Justin Kincaid honest question. how does he relate to this quote or did he say it?

@@devintaylor7049 thats not what he meant lol

I'm also a non American and I'm sad. I salute to this warrior.

As an American I thank you that you feel solidarity with such a warrior as Chapman that fought fiercely and tirelessly from the front and layed down his life under as hail of fire so that his brothers might live.

same man, I dont even like USA so much but this isnt about nationality

Same...

Exactly, doesn't matter what faction, country one is fighting. This applies for everyone(hopefully the good side) That we simply just want to live but better yet save the man next to us.

He wasn't a SEAL, he was an Air Force Combat Controller

You do realize he wasn’t a SEAL. And the SEALs actively tried to block him getting the medal right?

@@GriffinKneesock just read an article on this, so sad to see that the Seals would do that just because they don’t want to admit they left a man alive on the mountain. One person suggested that the Seal team leader confused the already diseased fighter that they were trying to retrieve with Chapman, leading him to believe Chapman was dead.

@@caseyellersick6427 Absolutely right my friend, SEALS are totally gutless and here is the proof!

and yet he wasted his life for nothing.

@@StoffiePrductions wrong. He did it to save the lives of his fellow soldiers.

David Amaya seems a bit wrong to say that tbh. He believed in what he was doing and wanted to protect his team who he would see as his brothers. No matter what you think of the SEALs, this man is a hero

@@David-ys4ud still wasted, noone of them should hve gone there. Wasting life for idiotic capitalism and power hungry trash.

@David Amaya he wasnt a SEAL. He was an Airman.

Retr0nic same lol

I plan on doing premieres for my gameplay videos :)

@@mjpraetorian4386 honestly in 2020 they would try to change the story to some social justice cause and make it a struggle of someone in sexual transition or some bs. It’s what they do. It’s why Hollywood is dead and mocked at “award shows” by actually woke people like Ricky Gervais.

Well spoken sir

You mean the game where you play as Rabbit and Addams

Yeah i was about to say this awfully sounds like MOH 2010.

i was about to comment about it , i love MOH 2010 and more when i found out about Rabbit and Adams and who they were based on , sucks that MOH is put on the freeze because warfighter got the corporate treatment and some DOD personnel thought they were getting to Authentic hopefully MW ( 2019 ) help show EA that people want more on the ground realistic Tier 1 games

oh yeah original human should definitely do a playthrough it is right up his alley

That was one of the few games that made me stop and think for a bit when the end credits started to roll.

Hello there, i couldnt help but reply to your comment, im now 32 years old, when i was 18, i took a Asvab test i think, or something like that, to enlist for the Marines, in a buddy enlist program, my brother, and i, were enlisting at the same time, but after the test, my brother was killed in an automobile Accident, unfortunately. I was so messed up over this, but shortly after, i met the BEST WOMAN in the world! who absolutely saved me! she became my whole world, quickly, and im so grateful for her and our son, we had roughly 1 year later. I still regret not enlisting to this day, although if i had, my life would not be what it is today, and i thank my wife, and son, for all in our lives! I have no idea where you are in life, but I guess my point is, think about it hard! you really only have one chance to do this as a single, young man! because now i could never leave my boy, and my wife, unless absolutely nessacery! AMERICA STRONG! STAY FREE! LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!

He wasn’t backed into a corner though, he had the choice to slide down the slope anytime like the SEALs that abandoned him did, he made the choice to stay because he’s a warrior

The vast majority of Medals of Honor were awarded posthumously.

@@keamahia6413 actually the video confirms at least 5, the two in the bunker, the one on the donkey, and the two hand to hand or close to it charges. It mentions "the second that charged the bunker".
