Listen Later


He circled above one of the deadliest battles of the war.

CMSgt Rob Harrison was on board Grim-32, the AC-130 gunship that witnessed the tragedy of Roberts Ridge unfold in real time. From the sky, he watched John Chapman’s last stand, the desperate fight for survival, and the chaos that would become one of the most controversial battles in Special Operations history.

In this episode, Rob relives the tension inside the gunship, the helplessness of seeing men on the ground fighting for their lives, and the lasting weight carried by those who bore witness. His story cuts deep into the cost of war — not only for those who fight on the ground, but for those who watch, unable to intervene.

This isn’t just history. It’s a wound that still bleeds. Still Here 🤙🏻
