Saving The Last Survivors - Hacksaw Ridge (2016) 

Made me cry he deserved much more for what they put him through and he still only wanted to do what was right he didn't hold it against them he must of had a good understanding that some times people just live a different life and learn a way that we don't always agree or what not but it makes them who they r alot of the time they become the person that raised them and he I'm sure he just had a unconditional love but what im getting at is he saved their butts anyway

@@crystalo3550 he was a GREAT man

All without never even firing a single shot from basic training onward

He was covered and protected. He had good works to do.

He did after the war. Desmond doss suffered greatly and I mean greatly after the war. He had very severe ptsd. He lost Dorothy to a car accident which he was driving. She was dieing of cancer. Yes my friend he died 100 times. I know cause I've died 100 times for all the same reasons. So much of me is dead, my body just doesn't know to stop functioning. Yes, all soldiers who have seen what we have seen and do the things we did, everyone of these men die alittle more with each nightmare.

@@briancarey1159 I am so sorry to say you are right. He re-fought that battle 'til al last he was given Peace. And I am sorry to hear that you must re-fight your battles. I hope I offer no insult when I pray that you are given peace in this life, and need not wait on the Next. God bless you.

Divine intervention there.

Oh for fucks sake here come the Christians

​@@hello7032 dawg have u seen the movie😂

@@rickhaaksema6627 yeah I know and all the Christians have and they cream their pants every time

That’s cap 🧢

That was true about Sergeant York too. His real actions were so incredible and out there that filming them would have looked absurd. They did the opposite with Audie Murphy. The film is accurate but a lot of people accuse it of being overblown and impossible.

This is apropos of nothing, but one common thread between Doss, Murphy, and York is that they were all Southern boys.@@penultimateh766

@@penultimateh766 that’s because Audie Murphy played himself and had them get it right as much as possible. Audie wanted it to be authentic and true to what he experienced and considering that man had PTSD and allowed himself to be put in a situation similar to the one he experienced, even if it was a Hollywood set speaks volumes to his character and mental fortitude.

@@Godofchaosdragons Fascinating, thanks!

@@Godofchaosdragons Audie Murphy was a true hero

while badass indeed i would encourage you to look up Leo Major from canada. that man single handedly captured an entire town from the germans just to save it from being shelled costing civilian lives. captured literally hundreds of enemy soldiers killed several SS and was awarded the 2nd highest award possible 3x one of which was in the korean war which he also took part in...

there were many chads in ww2 some from the axis and some from the allies, desmond doss is definitely one of them

I dunno. Ever hear of Blackbeard AKA, Edward Thatch (Teach, Tech, Thetch)? He was pretty badass man.

@@TheBlackKnightmare Sgt Alvin York single-handedly captured 200 German soldiers in WWI and was awarded the CMH

Daniel Joseph Daly Born: November 11, 1873 One example of his exploits: Since the defensive positions surrounding the legation were badly damaged, the rest of the Marines headed off to gather reinforcements and supplies to rebuild the fortifications around the embassy. Private Daly volunteered to stay back and hold the fort while they were gone. That night, shit hit the fan. Dan was just hanging out, smoking a cigarette, when all of a sudden a huge force of Chinese Boxers started bull-rushing the American Embassy with torches, rifles, and various other weaponry raised above their heads, screaming like madmen. They had come to destroy the consulate, and Daly was the only man between this rampaging horde and the diplomatic legation. In the face of this seemingly unending onslaught, Dan Daly knew it was time to be a Marine. He jammed an ammunition belt into his squad machine gun, took a deep breath, and squeezed the trigger. The next morning, the rest of Private Daly's squad arrived at the barricade Daly had been charged with defending. Through the smoke and the carnage, they saw Dan Daly sitting on the fortifications puffing a smoke, surrounded by the bodies of 200 slain Boxers. For his actions in single-handedly defending the legation in the face of impossible odds, Private Daly received the Congressional Medal of Honor. BTW: he ran out of ammo and went hand to hand toward end of the fight..with knife, rifle butt, etc Another example: In 1917 the United States once again needed the help of Sergeant Daly. Around this time France and Germany were in the middle of the biggest and deadliest war the planet had ever seen, and the U.S. decided to send in the Marines to help kick some ass in "The Great War", as it was now being called. Well Daly sure as shit wasn't going to miss out on an opportunity to fight in a World War, so he shipped out at age 44. He fought in several campaigns with the American Expeditionary Force in France, and won combat medals three more times - once when he crawled out under heavy enemy fire and rescued a half-dozen wounded Marines who were pinned down, once when he single-handedly captured 13 German soldiers, and once when he took out a heavily-fortified German machine gun nest all by himself using nothing more than a handful of grenades and a Colt .45 Automatic. He was also wounded three times, but yeah right like that could slow him down. Daly's greatest moment in World War I came during the intense fighting at the Battle of Belleau Wood. Daly's Marines were in the middle of a shitstorm. They were outnumbered two-to-one, outgunned, and facing down the barrel of a veritable load of German machine gun nests. They had been pinned down for hours by a non-stop hail of artillery and gunfire, and things were looking bleak as hell for our boys. Well all of a sudden, just as things were looking hopeless, a lone figure jumped up onto the earthworks the American Marines had been using for cover. Sergeant Dan Daly looked down the line, clutched his rifle and shouted, "Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?" before charging out to meet the enemy. The men of the United States Marine Corps saw this act of bravery and decided, no, they did not want to live forever. They went "over the top" and charged the German positions. On 26 June 1917 the U.S. High Command in France received the following telegram: Woods now U.S. Marine Corps entirely. For his actions in the Belleau Woods, Sergeant Daly received the Navy Cross and the French Croix de Guerre. Semper Fi

god was just having fun with that guy

@@criscurse3143 God said "HOLY SHIT, WHAT" and decided to spare a guy that was willing to fucking save over 150 fucking people on a god damn battlefield against he japanese during WW2 LOL. Malnourished, had 17 pieces of mother fucking shrapnel in the his body, but decided to push forward to keep saving lives. Fucking guy was literally the second coming of christ lmfaoooooo

Same thing happen to George Washington. An Indian fighting with the British in Braddox's Army. Who had been killed. Washington took command.. "Another witness who had spoken with Red Hawk, an Indian chief, after the victory, said he had shot 11 different times at Washington without hitting him and because his gun had never before missed its mark, Red Hawk ceased firing at him, convinced that the Great Spirit protected Washington." "Our rifles were leveled- rifles which, but for you, knew not how to miss. It was all in vain; a power mightier far than we shielded you. Seeing you were under the special guardianship of the Great Spirit, we immediately ceased to fire at you."

If you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move a mountain.

I've heard of events like this,guns fail to fire,explosions from which people walked out of,bullets passing through people and blowing up the seat behind them.surviving a 10000 foot fall.

He has been mainly doing serious roles for the last few years and he is pretty believable in them.

Jurassic Park 2 was mint. Read the book.

He played a FBI agent in The Cell with Jlo he was pretty good as a serious actor

He was pretty good in Brawl in Cell Block 99 as a more serious role.

Yes. Mel Gibson had to blend events together (it'd be too long otherwise), but for the final assault, he did have all their respect. "The final assault to take the Maeda Escarpment happened on the morning of May 5, 1945, a Saturday, the day of Sabbath, which the Fourth Commandment says should be devoted to prayer. Given that Desmond was the only medic left in B Company, he agreed to go but requested that he first be given time to read his Bible. The delay was approved up the chain of command and the assault was put on hold until Desmond finished his devotions. That day, the 307th Infantry Regiment of the 77th Infantry Division overtook Hacksaw Ridge for good. -The Conscientious Objector Documentary"

@@iMattCi89 awesome 👍 thanks for that I love history

I have a documentary movie made before Mel Gibson directed this movie. The name is “The Consientous Objector.” It has interviews to some of his companion soldiers from all over the US.

@@GuillermoMartinez-mb1nq thanks 👍 I will watch it

I cannot get past that scene without emotions getting the best of my state of mind.

The truth is always more unbelievable than fiction. You could probably do a mini-series on just what he fid that night.

They had to do that with "To Hell and Back" too, where Audie Murphy played himself.

Amen to that!

Naw wisdom and knowledge does that for us every thing else is there but it's for us to truly believe. To give it to the Almighty and say I can't and trust that he can and then see he did but not look. A different type of situation between looking and seeing and listening and hearing ya know but I agree with you 100

Well said!

He'll get it. It's the basis for his faith.

Thats up to God himself

Amen.

Amen ! Great piece you wrote there ❣️ Love for the Bible, Gods word

What a crap..... I pray for ur recovery

was not God, was his FAITH

@@JPVNG67 faith in who? GOD,GOD INTERVENED,he does it all the time,i've personally seen three miracles,one for me and two for others,and i don't care who believes me or not,why? FAITH

Sgt. York was another example of a godly man exercising faith on the battlefield.

Mel is brilliant

Honestly, Desmond Doss deserves to be remembered in part as Saint Doss.

@@grubb2103 yes I agree with u on that one my friend.

@@grubb2103 yeah but non of us protistants do that kind of thing its one of the issues we had with the catholics they deafied mortals.

​@@hardwirecars Deified? How so?

@@hardwirecars To be a saint isn't to be a deity. A saint is typically someone who's carried out great acts of kindness and overall good in the name of God. I myself am not directly religious but even I feel that Doss deserves to be remembered as such.

The climbing nets were anchored to the rim of the cliff. If you tried to cut them you would be exposed over the edge of the cliff.

@@salguodrolyat2594 makes sense. Thanks

Because both sides wanted the nets in place. For the Americans it was to scale the cliffs. For the Japanese it was because they wanted to know where the Americans were going to come from ie. Plan the killing zone. The cargo nets were in fact in the best interest of both parties. Odd as it sounds.

Actually in real life Desmond's actions was more insane that they actually TONED it down to make it more believable.
