After the War Desmond Doss lost a lung to TB and lived till 2006. So Death had to wait a long time for the last battle.

[@Gilhelmi]

Wait? It sounds as if Death had to fight against him for many years. It must have been an epic battle.

[@NickGreyden]

@@Gilhelmi the battle raged on for a century, many lives were saved but eventually the champion stood. The rest saw their better. Mr. Doss, bloodstained and untethered.

Probably got a few more bruises.

[@4eversight781]

Their is a another a HFY that the galaxy scary of war medic

[@Nempo13]

@@Minanonn Everyone glorifies the soldier, the medic however is glorified by the soldiers he looks after. They fight to win on the battlefield, the medic fights to keep them alive from death itself and every soldier knows it. They may not always like him, may hate the checkups and such, but every last soldier will DEMAND a complete cleansing strike upon a location if the medic gets so much as a scratch from the enemy. In Afghanistan a unit's medic took a shot in the arm while dragging a guy to safety, the unit did not ask, they outright demanded a 'danger close' strike to wipe the bastards off the face of the earth. Command denied them until they heard their medic was shot, permission was granted almost immediately. 'Danger close' means there is a good chance you will get hit by your own ordinance, the group did not care, they wanted the enemy dead by any means. The medic heard this and got everyone to take cover in a location with proper cover. Yes, the enemy, the buildings around the enemy, and the nearby hill that could have been used as a spotter place by the enemy were completely obliterated. The topography of the region changed as that hill became a crater from the amount of ordinance sent. You do NOT mess with a medic.

[@thelivingghost5695]

Death: Oh, you are approaching me? Instead of running away, you come right to me? Desmond Doss: I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer. Death: Then get as close as you need! ~10 mins later~ Death: The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed...

[@dantreadwell7421]

HELL YES! Desmond Doss was a freaking badass, and too damn stubborn to die either. Gods, what, he got hit like 4 times getting wounded off that ridge? Absolutely the picture of a hero. And he never cared about the accolades, or the MoH, (sorta). He was just doing his duty to his fellow men.

[@markmulder9845]

To stubborn to die, and even more so about the lives of his fellows.

[@hanzzel6086]

He got tuberculosis and lost a lung after the war. Died in his sleep in 2006.

[@owenhammond1880]

I'm loving that ending of "How did he even mark you?!" I'm guessing since the man was a conscientious objector and didn't physically fight he had more of his soul to give to wounded soldiers and just beat the living crap out of death. I'm guessing he just kept punching the same spot each time death came to take one of the 75 men he saved. All those blows finally left there mark on Death.

[@markmulder9845]

That what happens when death has to fight the same guy 75 times in one day.

Same as Robert Howard, Leo Major, Teddy Roosevelt, and Adrian Carton de Wiart. De Wiart probably did more damage to Death than Doss. He was, after all, The Unkillable Soldier.

[@monty9456]

I've heard a few stories of humanity fighting death in his realm, but this one was by far the best. Beautiful, poetic, yet still sad in the end. And, when he mentioned Doss? My heart swelled with pride, and every fiber of me yelled in triumph for the most selfless, courageous man I've ever heard of! A man of men. A true hero. We salute you, Mr. Doss! And, as always, a fantastic narration from our beloved Squirrel, who always gives the characters so much life! Thank you, sir.

[@BadCo1999]

Awesome props to the combat medic Desmond Doss @ Okinawa. Saved 75 guys!!

[@Gilhelmi]

Probably closer to over 100. (According to the eye witnesses) Desmond Doss was a humble man and said it was closer to 50. Army just split the difference, because both were insanely high numbers.

[@Nempo13]

@@Gilhelmi He did not like talking about it. He also said "I didn't save them, God saved them, I was just in the right place to help him do it." This guy deflected more than one grenade, survived a grenade exploding pretty damn close, was shot several times, had fractured bones by the end of it.

now i want a follow up of the other deaths finding out sometimes death has to outright barter with a spirit... as say a silken 'gate keeper' from ther life offered a side door back to life and either reincarnate , or as many little or large silken night warriors become 'attuned' to some concept or value and offer foresight as a 'spirit guide' for living ones that asks for it as ther own life experience is to short to have it themselfs yet ^^
