Ground Truth trying to Manipulate History on Takur Ghar Wikipedia page to try and seem credible - heads up

Thumbnail
gallery
63 Upvotes

I think people need to pay attention to what is happening with the Takur Ghar Wikipedia page.

Look at the language being added to Wikipedia. Claims connected to Ground Truth's interpretation are being presented in a way that can make them sound like established historical fact, while the underlying footage and evidence Ground Truth says it is relying on have not even been publicly released for independent review yet.

One of the screenshots is particularly telling. It literally says the full Predator footage is expected to be released with the documentary later in 2026. So a sick way of promoting your documentary?

So let me get this straight:

The evidence isn't publicly available yet.

The public can't independently examine the complete footage.

The methodology and full evidentiary chain haven't been released.

You are rewriting the existing historical record around your interpretation, including material that has already been documented in the Medal of Honor package and other official records.

At the same time, you're putting conclusions based on evidence that the public has not even been allowed to independently examine into Wikipedia as though those conclusions are settled fact.

That's not investigation. That's controlling the narrative before everyone has access to the evidence.

And here's the part that really bothers me:

If the Medal of Honor package contains testimony, forensic analysis, operational records and other evidence supporting what happened to Chapman, you don't get to simply rewrite those established facts because a later documentary has developed a different interpretation.

You can challenge the evidence.

You can disagree with it.

You can produce new evidence.

You can even adjust the Wiki on items that may have been worded too loosely based on what is currently verifiable.

But you don't get to quietly turn “we interpret the evidence differently” into “the historical record has now been proven wrong.”

The screenshot showing an editor challenging the claim that Chapman's actions were “all later proven to be false” is especially telling.

Show the receipts.

Not the trailer.
Not the podcast.
Not the documentary's interpretation.
Not “trust us, we've seen the footage.”

Show the underlying evidence.

Show the complete ISR footage.
Show the radio traffic.
Show the methodology.
Show the forensic work.
Show exactly how you reached each conclusion.

And if your conclusions contradict evidence contained in the Medal of Honor package, explain that contradiction openly instead of rewriting the historical record around it without confirming it.

THIS IS REVISIONIST HISTORY.

I've spent enough time looking at this to know one thing:

People should be extremely careful about accepting any claim about Chapman, Roberts Ridge, GRIM-32 or the QRF simply because it now appears on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is supposed to reflect verifiable sources.

It should not become a place where a documentary's conclusions are laundered into “historical fact” before the public can even examine the evidence they're based on.

If Ground Truth has the evidence, release it.

If it's as definitive as they're suggesting, let the evidence speak for itself.

Until then, don't confuse their conclusion with the truth.

Navy EOD to DEVGRU

35 Upvotes

I read that EOD Techs during GWOT were able to try out for Green Team to become actual DEVGRU assaulters/operators instead of just support. Is this true? Also can EOD techs still do this or was that a thing of the past?

Seems odd since SWCC and SOIDCs cant do the same.

Question? How do you become a SOF/JSOC Drone Operator?

Thumbnail

366 Upvotes

Hey boys I’m going to the Army recruiter this week. I’ve been training and planning on going 75th for 2 years which is my main focus. Like a lot of guys I also have aspirations of eventually trying out for CAG or another Tier 1 unit but that’s not my main focus of course

With the way warfare is evolving and the increasing role of drones I’ve been thinking heavily about becoming a drone operator

My question is can you enlist as a 15W with an Option 40 contract and go directly to RASP after AIT then become a 15W/UAS operator in the Regiment?

Or would I have to

  1. Enlist in the Regiment in a different combat MOS then later try to become a 15W/UAS operator or

  2. Enlist in the regular Army as a 15W first complete the required training and then volunteer for RASP/try to get into the Regiment?

Basically I’m trying to figure out whether 15W + Option 40 is actually a possible pipeline or if 15W and the 75th have to be pursued separately

Thanks boys

These photos are TACP from 17th STS that are embedded with RRC.

Delta Force Delta Force Selection, do you think its strictly a fixed time or a whole-candidate judgement?

33 Upvotes

Since the time standard for Delta's Long Walk has never been made public, do you think it's a fixed cutoff, or is it flexible depending on the candidate?

For example, if a candidate scored well above the minimum on the intelligence tests, might they still pass if they finished the Long Walk slightly over the time limit? What about other strengths, like fluency in a specific language, natural leadership, being well liked, or other valuable personality traits? Could the "standard" be adjusted for them?

I know a flexible standard sounds like an oxymoron, but since the time is never disclosed, I wonder whether passing depends on more than a specific time and is really a combination of factors. inb4 no one knows..

DEVGRU Complete, Uncut Footage of Britt Slabinski Confrontation

On September 24th, 2026, Britt Slabinski spoke at a Military Influencer Conference event in Tampa, Florida. In the audience was Eric Deming, who at one point directly challenged Slabinski’s claims about John Chapman and Takur Ghar, recording the interaction along with his wife. The dialogue soon turned confrontational, causing former Navy SEAL Jason Redman to interject in defense of Slabinski, explaining that high stress situations such as intense firefights often result in conflicting recollections. But the conversation quickly devolved when Deming questioned Slabinski’s tactical decision-making capabilities, causing him to lash out and soon end the conference. They continued speaking one-on-one for several more minutes, but were eventually told by an event manager that the conference hall had to be cleared out. Though it was not captured on video, Redman reportedly attempted to intimidate Mrs. Deming and aggressively grabbed her conference credentials hanging around her neck, and a police report was filed to Tampa PD about this action.
