no service member who dies now or since the end of ww2 is providing any sort of rights or freedom or privilege to anyone here in the states. Vietnam, 1st gulf and this mess we are in now are for political and resource gains, nothing else. At no time was the so called "freedom" you speak of at risk. It's not like iraq or afghanistan was going to mount a d-day type offensive and invade us and take anything away. I didn't fight and lose friends for your 'freedom'.. I fought for my friends... the men next to me and (unknowingly) for an unjust war under false pretenses to fuel the military industrial complex and make people money. If anything, the biggest risk to your freedom is coming from within, with corrupt police and putting people in jail for petty crimes in a system run by private prison owners for profit.

I can agree with some of what you said ..When we were fighting hard in Nam it was about saving our asses or the buddy next to us. However I would rather fight on foreign soil than here at home. Pretty much everything after 9-11 is because of 9-11. Now imagine if we sat back and waited we would be having to fight on our shores...Hmmm not fighting for freedom eh? If we did what you are saying we would have a lot more dead civilians. 9-11 is just a sample of what would happen if we had to fight on our shores.

However, seeing you, Courtney, so emotional over a man you never knew, a situation I hope you will never experience, and the madness of warfare displayed so specifically, your emotions so clear on your face and in your voice, I am moved to tears. Child, I would give you a big old American bear hug, right now, tell you "It's okay. We fall. We rise. We fall, again. It's simply what we do." Please, be well. It's okay to mourn the loss of those who fight. However, I will stand by the need to try to end all the fighting, across the world, so young men and women are not sacrificed, alone, in the heat and the cold, ever again. Be well, Courtney. Thank you, wholeheartedly, from an old soldier, for your tears, and pain. I wish these things had never happened to anyone.

So that's 4,000 vs 100,000. Those 4,000 men managed to take down around 20,000. Each man would've taken down 5 men in return for his own life. But that wasn't the case since the last stand was those 300 along with 1,500 other men. So the spartans would've taken down a lot more.

But his team of seals he was attached to sure did and got their team leader a MOH years and years before this. But those fuckin Rangers were coming and not leaving until Chapman was accounted for. They got shot down, stormed out past their brothers getting shot dead upon leaving the crashed chopper and fought until they were able to recover ALL who were lost. Sure the seal team went back, but their priority was THEIR fellow seal who fell out of the chopper. Hence the battle being called Roberts Ridge. It should be called Chapman’s Ridge because he fought to the death while left alone and Roberts had the misfortune of simply falling out a chopper to his death. The navy also fought to keep his Air Force cross from being upgraded to an MOH to keep what they did quiet. They desperately did not want it to be known that they left a team member from another branch behind alive for hours to fight for himself. It’s a goddamn shame, and a fact. Research it yourself.

Nah, a lot may be ungrateful, but nobody needs to be gullible enough to believe that anybody is fighting for America's freedom anymore. We're already free. There's a reason you don't see a lot of immigration or refugees from Scandinavian and Western European nations and it has everything to do with a better quality of life and freedoms. The same quality of life we used to have until corporations and religions became more important than the common citizen. Wars are fought based on money and the need for power, not to preserve our basic freedoms. I hate the fact that lives are lost because somebody wants to gain more. I'm not ungrateful, I'm pissed. The actual enemies of American freedom and lives are Americans ourselves and the people we put in charge of us. Almost every conflict of the last quarter of the 20th century were conflicts in which America had zero business being involved. War profiteering and war-mongering kept our people in harm's way. I'm not ungrateful for the soldier, I'm pissed at the selfish bastards who put them in harm's way for their own gain.

Tracy Billingsley He actually only received one MOH. The narrator is only pointing out two instances of his actions that would have warranted the medal in of themselves. The Navy tried to block his award because the SEAL team leader only received a Navy Cross (as was appropriate). After years of unsuccessfully downgrading Chapman's medal to a Cross, the Navy in a infantile tantrum elevated the TL's Cross to an MOH as well so as to not have their man be outdone by an enlisted Airman. So you have one of the most worthy candidates posthumously receive his and perhaps the least qualifying officer receive one, uninjured and in person by our Orange 5 time draft-dodging POTUS. Gotta love those intra-branch politics.

No offense, but NOT one civilian out there can comprehend what these people have done. We use to joke thinking to receive the Medal you would have to kill 300 men with your bare hands, come back run a perfect 300 PFT, and then run a marathon on the way to killing another 500 men, all in a single day. It's beyond comprehension of what these men have accomplished. I've been there, and I still can't understand what they have earned. The KEY word being EARNED.

havingfun1968 I have had the honor & pleasure of meeting one Medal of Honor recipient, Joe Foss. Joe Foss was a United States Marine Corps Major and a leading Marine fighter ace in World War II. He received the Medal of Honor in recognition of his role in air combat during the Guadalcanal Campaign. He is credited with shooting down 26 Japanese aircraft. His 1st air to air combat victory happened October 13, 1942, the day my mother was born. I met him in Reno Nevada April 2002 at the NRA annual meeting. He was very friendly & easy to talk to. He was also delighted to have a picture taken with me. Didn't really understand why I would want a picture with him, I think most heroes are humble like that. He suffered a stroke in October 2002 when he bled from a cerebral aneurysm. He died three months later on New Year's Day, 2003, never having regained consciousness. It truly was an honor & pleasure to shake his hand & have the opportunity to speak with him for a few minutes. I know what it means to you because it means that to me. (I'm confident you knew who Joe Foss was, the details were for those who don't)

Truly awe inspiring heroism. Whatever medals he received posthumously are inadequate to express how proud and grateful we are for his incredible service.

You should look up Omar "Crispy" Avila. His story is amazing. He was on patrol when his Humvee hit an IED. It burst in to flames with him in it. While on fire, Crispy climbed to the .50 caliber machine gun and engaged enemy fighters in an attempt to save his comrades. The gun got so hot from the burning vehicle that the barrel melted. He then, while still on fire, jumped off the Humvee breaking both his legs. Despite this, he continued to engage enemy fighters until his ammunition was depleted. He was then dragged to the safety of another Humvee where he guided a newer soldier back to base while blind. (He was temporarily blinded by the chemicals from the IED, but had memorized landmarks well enough to guide the driver back to safety.) He was in a medically induced coma for months to recover from third degree burns on most of his body. His injuries were so bad he ended up losing one of his legs permanently. He is now a motivational speaker and jokingly calls himself Crispy.

Since serving in the US Military as a Marine. I respect and honor your honest feelings and emotions you give a honorable man and the other US service members who were KIA and wounded attempting to retrieve a fallen SEAL. I pray for his "brother's " who fell and others who were wounded during this Operation. My prayers to his family and the families of those who fell and who were wounded during this Operation. The men and women who raise their hands and swear to defend OUR Country is a "blank check " which can include sacrificing our lives. Chapman sacrificed his life for his brother's to the left and right of him. I purchased his book yesterday, one for myself and one for a Military brother who served in the Airforce and did two deployments to Iraq. Right now in this Country there is so much division and hate. Thank God for people like you who honor and show heartfelt emotion towards a man who sacrificed all for his brothers.
