His rifle jammed as the base came under attack. Earl Plumlee drew his pistol and advanced, a decision at the center of Black Rifle Coffee Company's most-watched new upload of the week.

"The Green Beret Who Earned the Medal of Honor With a Pistol" follows Plumlee from Oklahoma through Marine reconnaissance and Army Special Forces before returning to the breach at Forward Operating Base Ghazni. The coffee company's documentary, presented with Popo Medic, combines narration, archive material and reenactments with Plumlee's recorded account of reaching wounded soldiers under fire. It also remembers Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis, who died shielding Polish officer Karol Cierpica.

The film closes with footage of Joe Biden presenting Plumlee with the Medal of Honor in December 2021. It has drawn about 92,000 views and currently brings in more daily views than any other individual upload on the channel.

The week's other release, "Four Marines Surrounded and One Wrong Move From Disaster", takes a conversational approach. Retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel Ben Papis recounts a mission outside Fallujah and connects decisions under pressure to courage, competence and endurance. Meanwhile, October's Kyle Carpenter interview continues drawing viewers to his account of recovery after being wounded in Afghanistan.

Across the channel, daily views are running well above their usual level, although subscribers were unchanged over the week. Its roughly 909,000 weekly views sit close to Imperial War Museums' total, while The Tank Museum had a larger viewing week. For Black Rifle Coffee Company, both new uploads put veterans' accounts, rather than coffee or comedy, at the center.
