On October 12, 1945, Cpl. Desmond Doss, a Seventh Day Adventist, became the first conscientious objector to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service as an unarmed medic in WWII. Charles Osgood reports.
They called him a "coward". Little did they know, he was the bravest of them all, facing literal hellfire, UNARMED and saved almost 80 people in the process. Absolutely incredible.
The man even his CO Sargent call him coward suddenly call him "Bravest man ever lives, and having endup saving my lives, is the irony of the whole thing"
You can't even accomplish that in a video game. As soon as you see "RESCUE 75 MEN WITHOUT TAKING DAMAGE" achievement, you be like "I guess I'll never get that Platinum" 😂
What the movie gets wrong is that he won the respect of most of his soldiers when he completed his final hike with them in Basic. He took care of everyone else's feet before his own and had actually hiked with heavier gear than any rifle.
I was also a CO. Went to Basic at Fort Sam Houston, then 10 weeks of Medic training. Less than a month later i was in Tay Ninh Viet Nam with 1st Calvary Medevac for fourteen months.
Preach!! God reward this man's faith and commitment and used him in a way that others would say was impossible. It's hard to deny that God had a hand in what happened with Doss. I even heard that for the movie based on his life, the director left some times out because he felt that people would find them too hard to believe. Wished he didn't do such, I'm eager to find out what those other things were.
now this man i respect, and i am an army brat & am army widow. he stood up with his beliefs and still served his country. i have a big problem with people who just run and hide. there should always be a way for people to serve their country and still uphold their beliefs. there is honor in that, running away has no honor
i respect the guy too, he saved many people's lives and seemed like a very nice person. however i disagree on your point about people running away and hiding. there is absolutely nothing shameful in that. nobody owes anything to their country and if they'd prefer not contribute to war then they should be respected in doing so as well.
I am not a citizen but I am moved to loved the heroic act this man possessed. I am big fan (Demond doss) of the dead but he sure lives in my heart ❤️ I’ll watch hacksaw ridge over and over and never get tired of his heroism. From Nigeria 🇳🇬 Like my comment to remind me to appreciate private doss bravery ❤❤
This Man is A True Hero, He risked his life more than once, Placed all his faith in God, Made extraordinary feats, He went in The War and Came out A Hero, And he lived a long and Happy Life. Rest In Peace, Desmond, I bet you are enjoying some amazing Tea with Dorothy in Heaven. 🇺🇸
Yeah and then look at all the innocent kids born christian getting killed, starving, raped, sold, tortured...where is god then? Seemingly god just likes very very few people that help america win useless wars?
75 men at an average of 180lbs each... 13,500 lbs in one night, tell me he didn't have the holy power of God in him to accomplish this feat, amen and hallelujah 🙌🥰
There are really no words to describe this man this is amazing Brave man he did much more than the movie shows look him up and read about him believe me you will be totally amazed that the things that he did this man is a true hero I will never forget your name and what you did
I just rewatched "Hacksaw Ridge", and I know movies usually may add more adventure to make it interesting, but in this case, they left out things. How on earth can someone save 75 wounded men in the conditions he was in. Absolutely no one! Even if it's in a video game as someone pointed out "Save 75 wounded without taking any damage" is just ridiculous. But Doss did it. What a legend, a hero... Incredible that even in the middle of battle, he did his part and more, refusing to take a single life, but only to save life. If every man was like him, there would be absolutely no war.
My uncle was a conchy in the first war he was sent to prison had very bad time he was self educated he was brought up on the Scottish island he did volunteer for World War II , he walked across China with Elvis Switzer he wrote his official biography. He was married to my auntie they had two children. Is a really nice man
Setelah nonton hacksaw ak melihat sisi keyakinan desmond doss begitu sangat kuat,Desmond doss membuktikan bhwa keyakinanNya tetap teguh berpegang pada keyakinannya salam hormat pak desmond sy beri respek tertinggi untukmu
From Italy: Has anyone proposed to raise this man to saint? Why didn't the pope notice him? Why doesn't it belong to the Catholic Church? Desmod Doss is the most valiant man of all time!
Catholics must stop worshipping IDOLS of any form including Jesus Christ, Mother MARY, 12 Disciples etc. It's against the Word of God. 1JOHN 5:21; 1 Corinthians 10:4,7; Isaiah 45:20; Jonah 2:8; Judges 10:14; Leviticus 19:4; Revelation 9:20; Galatians 5:19-21; Please read these verses.
Desmond Doss said himelf, in an "old" interview, he saved 60+ men. "Media, authors, the Army and OTHERS, wanted" to credit him with saving 100 men. They agreed on Doss saving 75 men. "I trust Desmond Doss's" words.
The men of Desmond Doss’s Company that mistreated him should’ve been demoted and discharged from the Army. They broke many of the Army values, and don’t deserve his respect. Thank you for all you accomplished Desmond Doss!!!
How can we imagine what they went through. Ukraine are now going through the same.Women ,men children ,being oppressed. The Ukrainian people have shown they are all Desmonds Doss.
DESMOND DOSS WAS A MEDIC WHO FAUGHT WITHOUT A WEAPON HE WAS A CHRISTIAN BUT AS HE SAVED HIS FELLOW MEN HE KEPT SAYING GOD PLEASE ONE MORE AS HE GOES BACK FINDING MORE WOUNDED MEN
Ivan Mills pretty sure he killed 25 people the day he lead a attack basically doing what he was supposed to Don’t think he counts as one since he did something he didn’t want to do but did it either which way
@@ulyssesguidi9960 I know he did his job, however, he was an objector. He opposed the war and killing. He later stated he did it to save lives. Of course Maxim designed and built the Maxim machine gun for the same reason. Thinking the mass casualties would deter war. We now know it merely killed millions.
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out. Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!
When will they realise that going to war pronto is pointless. Next war mentioned I want sudden PAUSE. I want the privates to drop their combat clothes and put on suits whilst the politicians slip into the privates former uniforms. Guns in hand I want the leaders to resume the charge. Think they’ll go for it?
