Specifically, according to director Mel Gibson, they left out an incident where a Japanese continually fired upon Doss as he helped the wounded but the Japanese soldiers rifle kept jamming over and over. ' While lowering the men down the ridge, the Japanese had a clear shot at Desmond Doss. Though it's not depicted in the movie, one Japanese soldier recalled having Desmond in his sights, but every time he went to fire, his gun jammed. -The Conscientious Objector Documentary

[@jimzeez]

There was another American soldier, I forget his name, started with an A, that had a movie made about him. Same thing; the director toned down his actual actions because it would have been "too unbelievable". Something about holding back a whole German division with the .50 mounted on top of a burning American tank, and just as he ran out of ammo and dismounted, the tank blew up.

When my brother was still an apprentice, one year in, he had a disagreement with one of the leaders. It was respectful, but a little bit a heated conversaton.

When he got the last man down and he was standing there in a sort of shock. He was breathing rarified air. He'd just gone through the most adrenaline fueled fight of his life and nearly been killed a dozen times. He was completely in the medics zone after a battle. I'm a retired US Army disabled veteran. I'm here because a medic responded to the cries of MEDIC!!! I will never forget that. I was laying in mud, bleeding & scared. I heard the call go down the line, MEDIC!!! Then, the Medic came, and I can't tell you how much that calmed me down. He soon had me on a stretcher and evacuated me to the nearest aid station where I was later medivaced by helicopter to an Army hospital. God bless the Medics! It's been 52 years, and I still see that medic coming towards me with his medics bag in his hand. I'm still here because him & God.

I served in Vietnam and can tell you for a certainty that quite often rifles saved lives too. The Navy SEAL's reaction to being caught in the kill zone of an ambush was not to whip out the bandages. They knew that life expectancy in an ambush was two seconds so they would immediately attack the ambushers. Their only hope of survival was to make the ambushers miss. But I won't take anything away from this Medal of Honor recipient. His courage speaks for itself.

Navy Seals don't have a deeply held religious conviction that taking a life is wrong. Navy Seals would utilize their weapons if they believed those weapons would be advantageous, Doss would not, so why have it? It's as if you were a member of a rifle company about to go out on a patrol and your commanding officer insisted that you pack a boat anchor. You couldn't imagine a scenario in which it would be useful, so why have it? Doss would not have used the rifle is the bottom line.

[@nextube_owner]

“Lord, help me get one more.” And so he did. It was not just “one more”, the man had a life, a family, a wife, he had people waiting for him at home.

[@SlideIX]

What I’m going to say is going to sound corny but I’m going to say it anyway. What you described and who Desmond Doss was is a saint not a warrior. Warriors are people who do harm in the pursuit of good, saints are those who only do good. They are far rarer and even few recognised for their deeds and that makes them better than any warrior could hope to ever be.

[@andrewwaldock]

Indeed. There are warriors who are not soldiers, and soldiers who are not warriors. Being a warrior is about far more than doing battle. And I tend to think that the highest, most virtuous form of a warrior is a Peaceful Warrior. A status I doubt I will ever attain, but I try to look at examples of true Peaceful Warriors (Christ Jesus being the best example) for inspiration and the means to make myself a better man.

One of my neighbors and best friend was a man named Russell Dunham a 3rd division infantry sergeant from North Africa to Berlin. He got his Medal of Honor for action in France. Russ and Des became great friends in the Medal of Honor Society. 1961 Russ and Audie Murphy examined all 300 holders of the CMH still surviving from all the wars from Spanish American to 1961 and made a report to the society that they felt Desmond Doss deserved to be the Society's representative to the President on the 100th anniversary of the Medal of Honor. Someone said "Audie, you got the most medals you just take it." Murphy's reply was "I'm proud of my accomplishments but me and Russ we recommend our buddy Desmond." Russ always said "they gave him the Medal of Honor because they did not have anything bigger to give him; if they did have something bigger he would have got that Medal." When Doss died in about '06 Russ had a hard time with the loss of his friend. My buddy passed in '09.

Desmond Doss defined courage and heroism. He served with the purpose of saving lives instead of taking lives. He saved the lives of 75 fellow soldiers all without having any weapon. That's the true definition of heroism.

Really great shot at 6:10. Doss in front of the church holding his bible while the captain stands in front of the military tents holding his rifle, both sides split up by one column. It shows two man from two different beliefs who are stuck in the same situation coming together. The captain realizing that the power of God is equally important as the power of military equipment

Desmond Doss was and will forever remain one of my, if not my all time hero...a true believer in his faith and when he asked, God delivered....I'm humbled by his bravery, his upstanding & upholding of his beliefs even though he was mocked, ridiculed and outcast....you only need refer to so many bible passages to see just how much of an amazing man he was. Most have never even heard of him, many nowadays even portray their heroes based on minimal actions but heroism comes in many forms, big and small. But Desmond Doss was empowered by his belief in God and God gave him the strength to carry out one of the most bravest acts of valor ever. Incredible brave young man....now sitting firmly by God's side, finally home xxx

[@PJOZeus]

Reminder that Desmond Doss was such a devout, brave and caring man, that his true actions and bravery had to be toned down for this movie, genuinely He was such a living saint and miracle that those in the studio believed an honest recounting would be viewed with skepticism, for how could one man survive through and do so so much, they didn’t believe he would be seen as human Well he was, and he was even greater than portrayed That is the power of faith, and kindness, and sheer will That was the real Desmond Doss.

[@natesturm448]

He may say he's not wounded but he was. The wounds you take to your brain, soul, and emotions are the worst kinds of wounds. Unlike a physical wound, mental ones do not scar. They just remain a constant.

[@user-hr5dy6hs9w]

Ran head first into Hell, looked the devil in the eye and said you can not have them.

[@Khornecussion]

Doss was the embodiment of " The Lord's work must be done. " Also, to the sergeant that apparently was indeed like that? You gotta imagine this. He was on a LARGE dose of morphine, being dragged roughly over incredibly bumpy terrain as fast Doss could manage and he is landing the shots that would save Doss from being hit, or to keep Japanese soldiers in cover to prevent them from popping out and hitting Doss. This feat is even more inspiring when you realize Doss's diet was so poor in the military because they didn't have a bunch of rations that had food he could eat. He looked like a malnourished skeleton of a man during this battle... and saved all of those lives, even returning a few bodies despite not needing to do so. Bodies of people he didn't want eaten by rats and maggots. Men he considered friends. Doss is the epitome of a man. He wasn't a pacifist because he wanted to feel better. He wasn't a pacifist because " That's what the Bible says. " ( Nothing truly forbids Christians from taking up arms in defense of a home. Many times God had Christians fight in battles that should have been absolute losses and the Christians would overcome horrible odds. ) - Doss did it because he objected to violence as a principle, not for some attention, not because it satisfied his ego. He promised to the highest power he knew of, God... and he kept it. He kept his word to God and God in turn gave him his protection. Doss is more man than any of us ever will be. More of a faithful Christian than many of us could hope to be. If anybody made it to Heaven, it's Doss. I hope I get to see him there and shake his hand if I manage.

With Doss's bravery and his commitment to serve his country, he boosted his entire soldiers' moral and made them felt like each one had the strength of 100 men each. He gave the men zero fear of death and the hope they'll go back home once the war is done.

There are no more of them then than there are now. Just less opportunities. We should be thankful for that.

That act of grounding and tethering a person in an emotional shock is absolutely beautiful. And it wasn't even that they wanted a piece of the miracle of what he accomplished. It was the recognition that to go back up that ridge meant possible death, and if you're gonna face death, you want someone walking woth that you know is going to fight for your life, whi will not be satisfied with retreating, knowing you're up there and dying.
