98Z5V Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) There's some very, very relevant MAJOR DRAMA with this place, that you should research, and speak up about. I'm not raining on anybody's parade, but there's a military political fukcing absolute shiit-show with this place right now. Research it. It's Afghanistan. One dude has his own display there - and he's ON THE BOARD THERE... and another one - WAY more deserving - does NOT have a display there. John Chapman - AF Combat Controller. Slabinski - Navy SEAL - he has a display there, and he's on the board of the museum. Hmmm... Here's some video on what Chapman did - and many say he deserves TWO Medals of Honor for that night, and that fight. Slab, and team - they left him. Slab get the CMOH. He's on the board of the museum. HE has a display. Chapman DOES NOT have a display. Yeah, Eff that place. Here's Chapman's firefight - after he was LEFT by the SEALS that he was attached to. I'll never support this place while that guy is on their board, no matter what, until they remove him from that board. I don't care how "memorial" or "heroic" it is - I won't support it. Remove Slabinski from the board, end the drama, and really, REALLY recognize the true Hero of that specific firefight. Until then, PNG. Persona Non Grata. I'm gonna post an absolute FUK-TON of information now, about this very specific event, just because of this thread. The truth needs to be known, both about this firefight, and about what this "Museum" is doing right now. Fukcin' burn it down. There's alot more coming, now...

98Z5V Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I have pertinent very personal information from one of my combat deployments that directly pertains to this whole thing, with some personalities involved in the whole affair. That will come way later, but it will come out. Here's the major BS, from one month ago. I'll most certainly post all the shiit from months before that. Bet your ass on it. This one is just cutting to the bone, to get the story out, and nip this shiit in the bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Nobody is really talking about this, except for David Hookstead - everyone else is pretty much brushing it all off. Fuk that place, that whole "Museum," until they figure out their politics, on why they are blowing off Chapman - but honoring Slabinski - who left Chapman there in the dirt, to die. No worries, though. Ranger Battalion went in there and fixed it all, recovered everything - at a cost. Just like they did during the Operation Redwing FUBAR.

unforgiven Posted March 19 Author Report Share Posted March 19 I hope that because of politics that it doesn't diminish the valor and sacrifices of those that earned the MOH that their stories will still be shared and remembered. Forever loved 🇺🇸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted Sunday at 10:41 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 10:41 PM Here's the major drama surrounding the National Medal Of Honor Museum. 1. It's a national museum. 2. Slabinski is on the board of directors, or whatever his title is there - he's a decision-maker there. 3. Slabinski has his own stand-alone exhibit inside that museum. 4. John Chapman DOES NOT have an exhibit at all, inside that museum. 5. There is major talk that John Chapman should be awarded TWO Medals Of Honor for his own actions that day/night... 6. It was the same, continuing combat action, that both men were in... Check this out - it explains alot, though it's long-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
