Teacher Reacts to The First Medal of Honor Ever Recorded 

I think, when Chapman regained conscious from first two wounds, he realized his team was trying to retreat, he knew they badly underestimated the enemies and situation over there, he knew they were heavily outnumbered and at that moment, he stopped thinking about his own safety, he understood it's his final call, accepted his fate and just sacrificed himself for making enough space for his team to escape. Man was truly a hero in the sense that he wasn't thinking about glory or pride, it's just serving and sacrificing. I hope people living in comfort, with foods and wine in couch, on their phone criticizing military forces before enjoying a sound sleep can find a moment to understand how shallow their mindset and insignificant their worth is for our society.

Chapman was fighting to complete the mission and protect his buddies, never really for himself. Best example of Soldiering I've ever seen.

Legend has it they needed a second helicopter to lift johns balls off that mountain....salute

The word hero is over used by most people, to them a hero is an actor, sportsman or the like. The real heroes or men like John Chapman and the others who going into this type of senario it’s not about me, but the entire team and comrades. Rest in peace hero, legend and most honourable man

This story causes me to tear up everytime I hear it

There is a movie, Hacksaw Ridge, that is based on a true story during WWII. It is about the only conscientious objector in US history to win the Medal of Honor. It is very much worth the viewing.

To say Chapman was a hero doesn't do him enough justice. That MAN is a MEGA-BOSS!

God bless your father. I am a Combat Marine and your father is a hero!

The reason he woke up and got back into the fight is God told him "I'm need you for a little longer"

Our LORD AND SAVIOUR Said " no man hath a greater love than he who gives his life for his friends. GOD BLESS ALL HERE!!!!!

He was blessed with a " beautiful death". R.I.P. brother I'll see ya on the other side.

Semper Fidelis John Chapman he was a warrior

For further reference, the peak they were fighting on was at just under 10,000 feet elevation. Couple that altitude with darkness, thigh deep snow, steep incline, 60-80 pounds of gear and guys trying to kill you and you have a simply amazing performance by a Olympic quality athletes/soldiers.

As a 79-year-old disabled retired Vietnam War Veteran, I can tell you there are no words to describe what Soldier Chapman went through. None! He rests in peace with his Creator.

Great to see you Guys back with another banger of a video! Hope you been good and I missed your videos!

I believe the one piece that makes the air strike "uncontrolled" is that nobody on the ground is observing the impacts and effects to call in adjustments. They just gave them an area to suppress.

i think the cold slowed down him bleeding out

Your father is a HERO.

6:53 i got up to look for my cat only to realize she wasn't in the room.

No greater love hath man than to lay down ones life.

Former operator hearing this story not from the Navy but I am just looking at Chapman as a 2x MOH is a true hero and in aww! I salute him

Such an incredibly brave man!. He left behind a wife and 2 young children. If you have never watched "We were Soldiers" (starring Mel Gibson and Sam Elliot), then, you should. My husband is a VV, and this is a true story based from accounts of of this particular battle, which was the first confrontation between US soldiers and N. Vietnamese Army. Many people are turned off about the Vietnam War, as it has been dragged through the mud for so many years, along with its veterans. On several occasions soldiers called in for artillery and close support from aircraft during the battle. However, it is quite graphic, much like "Saving Private Ryan". Also, the video concerning the "Rescue of Jessica Buchannon" might be of interest.

Much love to your dad. And family.

Petty Officer Roberts fell on their first attempt at the summit when their helicopter dodged a RPG. They thought he might still be alive. Back at the base the SEALS said they were going back to get him. Chapman said I'm going too. Even though he didn't have to.

Danger close = we might be hit and killed but send it. 8:53.... I'm gonna die... but I'll take some fucking terriorzors with me.

Hero is not a big enough word for John Chapman.

That's one thirsty Teacher you got there Coach! JK LOL! From Iowa City with love.

Adrenaline, mixed with fear is an experience few humans experience....It makes you feel invulnerable, powerful, and so concentrated that you don't feel pain immediately, and there's a rage inside that dumps more adrenaline, and you will fight, or Flight beyond anything before. Been there, ambushed, watched brothers drop, but there was no shock. the Two who didn't take head shots, got up and ran as if they had only been hit by a bb gun. Fighting, until another platoon got in the AOP, and then both died on EVAC. The human body is a machine.

My God you are a gorgeous teacher I would not have learned anything in your class

The Team Leader on this operation was also awarded the MoH for his actions on this operation many years later.

Imagine getting shot 16 times and still fighting.. different breed of person

Hey Teach, where did you get the T-Shirt? My sweetie would love one! It's refreshing that you have a statement of faith displayed on your shirt while celebrating the valor of our military. God Bless your father coach and your family!

So powerful 👏

There’s a lot of bravery here but I want to highlight someone specifically another Air Force man named Jason Cunningham he was a pararescueman new guy. Jason was on the helicopter that landed with the rangers and began treating wounded on the impact basically. He was shooting, moving wounded to safer positions, shooting some more to go grab another wounded guy take them to cover he did this nonstop even when he himself was wounded. He then realized he was hit and the ranger medic wanted to treat him he refused medical care and continued to fight and take care of his patients. At the end of the battle he was exhausted and bleeding out his eyes were fading and 30 minutes before extract he fell asleep never to wake up again. For his actions he was awarded the Air Force Cross. The team leader also received the Medal of Honor the entire SEAL team had Navy Crosses unknown amount of bronze stars with a V for Valor and Silver Stars with V for Valor and most men got Purple Hearts which indicates you are wounded. Let’s just say it was hard to not award every man a MoH bc they all fought like enraged animals on Roberts Ridge. God bless them all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Courage and honor. We fight for each other. Buddies. Brothers.

He did a awesome thing

As a former Army attack helicopter pilot with combat experience, thank you for your reaction!

The job of the Combat Air Controller (Chapman) is to identify targets and paint them with laser for the AC130. Because he was unxonscious or fighting for his life he wouldnt be able to do that. As for what caused his incopasitation, i think it likely, shock, or a concussive explosion that rendered him unconscious for a time. Because he was no longer fighting or moving, the enemy probably thought him dead.

Nice Romo jersey coach

Simple History has a video you shoukd watch about Medal of Honor recipient Master Sgt. Roy Benavidez called "The Green Beret who went on a one man Rampage to save his Comrades."

freezing weather conditions contributed to his longevity from bleeding out!

No greater love, it's a documentary about my old Army unit.

Such fighting is visceral: it's a part of the training. It is how a person can fight even as he is dying.

Hits hard.

Indeed friends.

Thank you to your father for his service 🇺🇸 & their a movie in the making about Mr. Chapman hopefully they do justice to his memory..for what I could find ..some of his teammates are part of the crew to make justice for him

Wow!

I actually met someone that got the Medal Of Honor had a beer with him before i got out of the Marines he said he wished could have just saved them I asked him what happened and he said they ambushed us i killed all of them he said but everyone was dead

I highly recommend the book Alone At Dawn 🙂 We had night vision the Al Qaeda did not so when Chapman is approaching bunker 1 the Team leader is laying down suppressing fire and that is all Al Qaeda can see. When Chapman charges. When Chapman was shot in bunker 1 the team leader said, I could see the breath exhaust, but then it was gone. He thought Chapman had died.

Try watching the rescue of Jessica Buchanan by seal team 6. The story is told by her and shows the dedication of our silent professionals. Worth the watch.

01:08 We hear ya Coach, but we NEVER see ya.......

Look up Roy Benavides US Army special forces soldiers he's basically John Chapman, but he lived through his ordeal. Not taking anything away from Chapman he did his duty with a full heart and died a warriors death which is sad but he had courage 💯

New helluva boss just come out

Yes, you must watch Hacksaw Ridge

I read the book and am disgusted how the navy tried to cover up what John did because of the lies the seal team leader told about what happened, the seal team leader was awarded the Medal of Honor based of lies then the secretary of the Air Force released this video.

Please react to Kay’s cooking if you guys enjoy cooking and fails. Kay’s special fried rice or meatballs are great to start off with.

MSgt. Chapman stood tall in Hell!

I can imagine his last thoughts are something like. WTF get that helicopter out of here.. Well shit here goes nothing.

I had a 1st Sargent in the marines who got shot twice and killed 3 taliban with a kabar. These men are not normal.

Teacher one of your tattoos looks very similar to a 4th Infantry Division patch.

It took 14 years for this medal to be awarded. The navy opposed the medal for Chapman because they didn't want people to know the SEALs had abandoned him. When the medal was approved for Chapman, the navy put the SEAL team leader in for and he received the medal of honor also.

It is amazing the lengths that your body and eternal organs go through as its fights to keep you alive Chapman was probably acting on instinct and adrenaline alone in face of the enemy he must have known that he was mortally wounded by this point I doubt he even felt the pain from the gun shots

Coach you gotta try a beer called harp, it's an Irish beer and it's damn good

Semper Fi John, Til Valhalla.

Combat Controllers are the best

The story of CPRL Kyle Carpenter

All you can do is fight, quitting is not an option because if you surrender the chechian fighters... you think al queda is bad the chechians with skin you alive they are absolute savages in the worst way possible a seal once said if you're fighting chechians keep one bullet for yourself and send the rest towards them

I've seen this video a lot of times and every time when Chapman get out of that bunker and starts firing in every direction I get this vision of Scarface then it switches to Rambo with ma duece. This man is Legend and without taking anything from him there are millions of Legendary men who have lived before him. Women often wonder why violence is in us, well ladies this video should explain. We have an inner knowledge that one day we may be fighting for our lives and the lives of the people we care about. Salute!

a ww2 war hero who became an actor made a movie based about himself from the age of 16 to the age of 19 be came the first lieutenant in the war against the German received every war medals plus a few purple hearts the name was 1 st lieutenant audy l Murphy movie title To HELL And Back

me meanwhile im just wondering what is in the background i see tanks n stuff

Sgt. Roy Benavidez. MOH

have you reacted to "Seal Team rescue of Jessica Buchanon".?

Roy Benavidez medal of honor.

They could react to Hellbenders

Also watch the True story movies, lone Survivor, hacksaw Ridge, Once we were Soldiers, Blackhawk Down. They are True stories, and have CMH winners. Also a short video of maybe the greatest soldier of all time, Roy Benevides, the Lazarus Soldier! Type that in. I met him once in the early 90s, when I was stationed at Bragg! U would never know it to look at him, very average sized guy. But what he did, after being wounded in Korea, then almost mortally wounded in Vietnam, then going back, is nothing short of God Jesus and the Holy Spirit, here on earth!

💔👏🥺💐

MoH Murphy would be good

There are a couple videos that explain more, and interview his wife as well...Here is one:that m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sA3nLLIYwM4.html

Sorry Im only a swedish 2nd machinegun sergeant

I know his last thoughts. I will save my brothers cause I am already dead.

I have always been confused by this video. He was awarded a Medal of Honor. The video says "thus qualified for his second..." was this hero awarded a second one?

Guys please react to sidemen you'll be surprised they are the biggest entertainment group in the uk give it a try guys you'll love this specialy their tinder videos ❤️💪💯🔥

"uncontrolled"... Typically it'll require typographical maps to be updated.

and these days you have adults who don't want to wake up and go to work... SMH! we need real men and women, not this generation of snowflakes who care more about their feelings than the truth!

"BROKEN ARROW" use to be the Radio call for help, meaning "we're overrun!" DROP ALL ya got, on our position!

Though that could be a theory among many but from what I experienced being there from early 03 that I can honestly say for fact that no one I served with would have ever just laid there, not one. You can't trust me on this no exaggeration. You must know this video automatically played for my last video I tried to stop it in time but then I couldn't stop it, not sure if that's bad or good yet but after almost twenty years maybe it's time. Not sure if I'm making sense or not but anyway. In honor there's Hope.

Those t-shirts are so cute.

No one in the academic field can understand those who are warriors and soldiers...... Actually those in the academic field actively disparage men from being like him

...The Silver Star, is no joke, but when speak of "Purple Hearts," ya getting into a dark area Civilian's Can't conceive, and Those who understand, don't/Nor ever will take lightly...Not sure if you folks have kids, BUT IMAGINE, if you did, and you GOT THIS report of YOUR SON! His LAST moments doing, what he does! Then imagine, him being compared to other vets, from the past. Seems a little off bruh, honestly. THIS guy, well.......ya'll heard it...Hope his Mom and Dad were proud of him, no matter Awards.
