Former Combat Controller and author Dan Schilling shares stories of the bravery and dedication of America's Special Operations forces, highlighting the relatively unknown community of Airforce Combat Controllers. These individuals are among the most versatile in Special Ops and have a unique dual role as both lethal individuals on the battlefield and humanitarian responders in times of crisis.
We discussed the story of Medal of Honor recipient John Chapman a Combat Controller who inserted with a small element of SEALs from DEVGRU into an enemy camp to retrieve SEAL Neil Roberts. Through a series of difficult circumstances, Chapman ended up alone on a mountaintop in Afghanistan, fighting for 40-plus minutes against two dozen enemy fighters. In this action, Chapman saved the lives of 23 Americans, and the entire battle was recorded by a CIA drone hovering above. The entire video is on youtube, narrated by Dan Schilling, and every American should watch it.
Through Schilling's firsthand accounts and insight, listeners gain a greater appreciation for the sacrifices and dedication of these essential members of America's military community.
