Delta Force Operator and 160th SOAR Pilot Tell the True Story of Roberts Ridge
In this mashup, Alan Mack and Pete Blaber recount the Battle of Takur Ghar from two different positions in the fight — Mack from the pilot’s seat and Blaber from the perspective of a Delta Force commander on the ground. Together, they break down the chaos, the deadly mistakes, and the split-second decisions that turned Roberts Ridge into one of the most tragic battles of the war.
From the moment Neil Roberts fell from the helicopter to the confusion surrounding the assault, this clip shows how fast the mission unraveled and why the battle became so costly. This is a firsthand look at what really happened on Takur Ghar from the men who lived it.

The only veteran who has ever fought for my rights as an American was that Marine that just had his arm snapped by coward American cops.
Kill
The Air Force is an arrogant bunch of clowns. Having them do CAS missions is a joke. Give the Army the AC’s and A-10’s.
Tell me this;
Why do you make fortunes telling us all of this information yet you watch this nation that same nation depicted upon your medals and patches of honor go to hell at the speed of light. The divided governments do nothing and no one steps in for an emergency injunction against this rogue president. As if strapped into our arm chairs you stir us and applaud at your like thumb numbers awaiting the next wave of horrific representations of what a once proud flag waving nation held. Here we are watching an enemy both foreign and domestic kill and destroy what you and your many generations have fought and died for. Your sworn duties to defend at all costs are now just foot notes to your giggles at profits as you spew forth acronyms agency bantering.
You elite veterans do nothing for America. You sat down, you scale the mind-f programming towards us and then stand there like “oh it’s so bad”. Congreve has moved a finger, the VP hasn’t stepped in with a 72 hour injunction to save us all from a president who has deliberately acted in a way that no Fortune 500 company in the world would allow any leadership / employee to act like this.
So I am calling you out. It is time that you honor America not by rally cries but by actual functioning. We have people quitting their posts every week nobody turns to save America they all into a fucking podcast to rally and pound the table. I call it bullshit. If anyone of you cared like you proclaim then fix this horrific mess and take our failing country back before it is too late.
Whatever happened to “We the people”, instead of “we the attending audience of suckers”. Click bait blah blah blah.
Americans trained from birth to want war..
Israel appreciates your service.
I don’t believe it until the movie comes out
Movie should be made
Rob Harrison told the truth, gave slab and the navy a way out, their pride wouldn’t allow them to take it. Slab personally lied to the Chapman family and screwed over Chapman so that slab got his medal first. Pathetic
Respectfully saying, what a mess.
What great edit!
How is Blaber’s story the truth, when there are men from his former unit that heard Chapman re appear on the radio, which is a direct contradiction of his story? You really shouldn’t be putting “the truth” on anything, especially in regards to the military, as you have had many fabricators and liars on this show.
Why tf is it in German?
Everything I’ve read about this story and watched have always said there were SEALs, Air Force special forces, and rangers, never seen anything about delta force being there until now.
people should have been court martialed for the calls they made and every american should know Chapman’s name!!
As a civilian, all I hear about from the military is poor leadership and instances of blue on blue
Terrible edit two stories In one
chapman was the hero not the coward seals that ran away but some how got the MOH
Worked with AWG in Gardez in 08/09. Wild neighborhood. Read Pete’s book in Kosovo in 2012. Absolutely, bar none, a legendary individual.
I like it when you puts these perspectives together.
Good to hear the truth
the amount of terrible leadership that touched this is crazy… a lot of the higher ranks got promoted off this kerfluffl
Mako Three Zero Charlie…. RIP John Chapman… Nobody will ever know exactly what happened on that mountain that morning. I’ve heard so many different takes and observations and opinions on Takur Ghar, a lot of it is contradicting. Ive seen all the timelines and watched as much ISR feed that is available. Most of the mainstream narrative feels fabricated and doesn’t make sense.
I love these edits with different interpretations of the same stories.
Those pilots that were willing to risks their lives knowing, where they were going, they may not live,….but were promising to make a return journey! Are the reasons special forces exist.
They are built different. And their heroism is very underrated given this podcast era were other operators are competing for who is a better unit than who.
They all forget their are people who have to fly them to those missions.
What’s disgusting is slab tried to take credit for some of the things Chapman did in an interview. It’s so gross how proud of himself he looks.
Seals are cowards. Say his name John Chapman! Fck the seals
Ww3 i believe has started and im concernd to be honest because this is just a game to them its the Elites and its the industrial war machine, this is why the lucifairians and masonz hav all built there bunkers to go hide in while us peasants fight there war maybe if they wer pusing there own kids out to die things would bè a little different ? Hopefully im way off target excuse the pun.🎉
These guys are still trying to do chapman dirty lol what a joke ..dont hate because chapman did what u could never do .all based on lies what a joke
Tango Mike mike
Question for you guys that were over there. Should we have kept Bagram Airbase after pulling out of the rest of the country? Would appreciate your input
Blaber said he heard Chapman conduct a radio check then later said he was surprised Slab had an RTO with him…BS RIP MAKO 30C
RLTW
This edit for the video was sooo good. I love hearing multiple peoples perspectives on a story in which they were all there and present. It allows you to get multiple different angles of what actually went down its a very nice listen
Pete did an SSE and decided all this crap in a matter of days. In the years following, there’s been c130 and pred isr feed analysis. Sworn witness statements and a federal investigation. Ultimately the pentagon reviewed the case and found that Chapman was still alive and continued fighting. This is why they approved Chapmans medal upgrade from the Airforce Cross to the MOH.
The evidence, visual and audio is overwhelming and support the fact that USAF CCT John Chapman regained concisiouness, re engaged the enemy and demonstrated unimaginable courage and resolve and deserves our Nation’s ultimate citation for valor in combat. I’m not sure what Blaber’s issue is, but he wasn’t up on the Ridge and Chapman’s autopsy showed that the fatal wounds entered his body from the back traveling up into the cardiac region, proving that he was standing with his back to the enemy when he ultimately fell. As a USAF Veteran, I get why the Navy Seals and this Delta Col can’t accept reality, we’ve dealt with this before, no PJs or CCT or most warriors on the AFSOC community really care about getting the glory, the movies or the books, what we know is that we’ll never forget John Chapman, he embodies all of us. God bless you brother.
the issue was the aftermath with the SEALs commander and the metal of honor board who created the museums.
CHAPMAN WAS THAT DUDE 🇺🇸
So good to hear Pete and Alan both give true account of what happened,
Is this a old one?
