Episode notes
Chapman's Last Stand
- John Chapman charged up a hill, took heavy wounds, briefly lost consciousness, then regained and fought again before dying.
- Matt Kubler recounts Chapman’s actions as the decisive reason many survived that engagement.
Cover-Up As A Recurring Playbook
- The Roberts Ridge episode created a cover-up blueprint that later enabled other abuses and concealment.
- Kubler argues this pattern of protecting brothers and narratives lets misconduct persist inside the SEAL community.

- That technical fusion exposed the long-running misattribution of heroism to others.
