Desmond was a relatively small man and he carried or dragged 75-100+ men one after the other, most of them wearing several pounds of kit which could snag on any of the battlefield obstructions. He was exhausted, malnourished and had his own wounds and had to be wary of Japanese patrols. What he achieved is probably the among the most incredible feats of strength and endurance in history.

[@TheColosiss]

The real story is far more incredible. Doss was severely malnourished from his diet. His faith prevented him from eating most of his rations. By the time this event occurred, Doss was withered and tired. He then went on to not only save many as portrayed, but the scene of the grenade is even more intense. Doss rolled off the gurney to allow a more wounded soldier to take his place while he continued to perform medical aid with severe lacerations, internal organ damage, and multiple bone fractures. The man was unstoppable, unbreakable, and fearless...

[@chocofro3]

He'd be the strongest Green Lantern with that level of willpower. A God fueled Green Lantern.

While I do commend his bravery, weakening yourself through malnourishment before going into battle is pretty irresponsible and stupid.

[@anotherboat]

@@y.r._ I agree wholeheartedly and do think it would've been better for him to eat, but his faith is his faith so I won't judge.

[@y.r._]

​@@anotherboat Yeah, I will judge. Faith is not justified by faith. Faith needs to make sense. Faith needs to be grounded in reality, morality and tradition, in equal parts, and while I find it quite dumb to not eat meat for religious reasons by itself already, I think that deliberately weakening yourself, thus risking your life as well your capability to do your sacred duty of protecting your country and comerades, is sacrilegious. How does a christian of all people even get the idea that one should be vegatarian for religious reasons? Reprehensibly stupid, heretical even.

Not in the strict sense of dismissal, because there is heroic element present. I just don't believe his gods hear him and that the ultimate cause of the japanese military was unjust. I believe Jesus Christ does hear those that call upon Him for strength.

Mr. Doss had proven himself many times before this battle on Okinawa. This was the third or fourth campaign he and his unit were involved in. By the time this happened Doss had been awarded two Bronze Stars and at least two Purple Hearts. I know it was just for the movie but identifying him as coward this late in his service, after all the brave things he had already done, bothered me. If they showed every brave act that Doss had done during his service up to this point, this movie would be over four hours long.

@@cloroxbleach9222 My aunt is from Japan and lived during WW2 where her father was a officer in the Japanese army. She said that her father beside his family's Samurai Sword always carried a small dagger with him to take his life so that he would never bring dishonor to his family by being captured. My Aunt came from a Samurai family that prided them selves on staying true to what they believed. To surrender to the enemy was one of the greatest dishonors the Japanese could do them and their families as they were taught to die with honor. Dying in battle was great honor for the Japanese Hence why a good chunk of Japanese POWs never returned to Japan as if they did then they would either be killed or shunned or who knows what else My aunt's father was not someone that hated Americans at all (he let his only daughter marry an American solider after chasing him around the town with his family's samurai sword how he was able to keep that after the war i have no idea) but he was just doing his duty to protect his family and country as you have to remember that not everyone one that fought for Germany and Japan believed in war. And a good chuck of soldiers in both Germany and JApan were forced to fight or their families would be killed. I should point out also that while Japan was at War with USA and somewhat what allied with Nazi Germany they didn't believe in Hitler Killing all the Jewish people. in fact Japan worked on getting a Large amount of Jewish people out of Europe to Japan where they were treated with respect and taken care of with a good chunk staying in Japan and their grandchildren and so force still living there to this day. So while Japan did have it's issues they did care about the innocents that were being hurt. YEs again i am aware what that Japanese military's did to the Chinese, Korean, And non Asian women that were unable to escape and taken to a certain type of camp.

Mel Gibson, thank you for bringing that story to light. Cheers

[@harrisondejoux8520]

Best part is that this is the watered-down version. His exploits are even crazier in real life.

[@nobody3761]

He was actually doing this in the middle of battle while under fire and providing blood to soldiers bleeding out. a act of which he had to expose himself to fire.

[@Emberwiles]

Doss was a legend no one can compare no killls no holding weapons at all just pure faith and pure will power

[@joe8206]

Any man who's willing to go into a combat situation without a gun to save lives isn't a coward in my book.

[@tommcclelland119]

and he was a conscientious objector? I served in combat, but never in my long years have I ever seen a braver soul than this guy.

[@fameasser123]

My dad met/knew Señor Desmond Doss. When he was growing up as a teen he worked with one of his nephew's, from his wife's side. He said that Desmond was one of the most sincere and nicest people that he had ever met and that he could see/feel a sort of radiance of light coming off of him that could only be described as something divine or spiritual. And that it was almost as if could see God's protection surrounding this man/hero from the dangers of this world. This man Desmond Doss was a one of a kind selfless hero. We need more people like this in the world. If we did then maybe things wouldn't be as shit as they have been for the past 6 or 7 decades. God bless y'all and have a Happy Sabbath, if you know what I mean. ツ

[@booyahinc]

He didn’t pray for himself - he repeatedly prayed for the ability to save ‘just one more’, clearly expecting his blessings to end after each save.

[@paullopez6620]

Love how they filmed this. So emotional.

[@TheSeanoops]

A man who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

[@WickedWarlock94]

It is proof that your faith can carry you. What a great movie about one of the finest men to ever walk this planet.

[@05WoodfordT]

Aside from Doss dragging over 75 men to safety, while giving basic first aid to them, the rest of the unit just accepted that more wounded is coming and have set up a system to transport the wounded in a short amount of time. Everyone were being heroes, Doss is the biggest hero of them all.

[@GoldOv3rdose]

This scene was amazing..."help me get one more....please Lord."

[@t-dogtyler3626]

Can we have a moment of silence for the one mores who were sadly never found. There's definitely at least one

[@judyfps5059]

some explosions completely vaporize the person(s) next to it. there are likely many many dozens unaccounted for

[@garypaterson2794]

Yes, but in his mind no man left behind RIP,Desmond Doss 🎅🤠🙏

[@user-gq5mo7kx5v]

Crying my eyes out,my dad was 82air born,scared from head to toe. What brave men!

[@NoName-hl8wb]

I still have trouble understanding how he was able to get around so easily with balls that Big

[@phishENchimps]

you would think that at this point, at least a few guys would have climbed up to offer assistance.

[@TheDakkaman]

Remember, the Japanese still had soldiers patrolling this entire time, so in between the moments we see of him reaching, collecting, and lowering these soldiers he was doing twice as much crawling, sneaking, and hiding from active groups of imperial soldiers out to kill him. I imagine many people did want to help him, but at the same time they’d know full well the only reason he was still alive at all was either sheer dumb luck or the personal intervention of an almighty God (take your pick honestly). Even if a full armed battalion tried going up they’d almost certainly do more harm than good just by drawing every imperial gun on the ridge to the one exit point.

[@erayergi]

​@@TheDakkamanalso more men up top would be more noticable (and dangerous) than a single man crawling and sneaking around, if we take the statistical approach. They did the best they could, and covered the drop zone for the wounded, which saved Doss's life

[@TheDakkaman]

@Eray ERGİ Exactly. If a single Japanese soldier got clever and followed a second trooper back to the ladder and lay in wait Doss wouldn't have stood a chance.

[@6StrngWzrd]

​@Benjamin Floyd actually, one did. He testified later that he had 6 different opportunities to shoot Doss and each of the 6 times his weapon misfired/jammed. The only time it jammed was when he tried to shoot Doss. Research it. Until the day he died that Japanese Sniper thought Doss was a God or Angel.

[@jojokeane]

When one asks the Lord for "one more", he will often give that to us. We have to remember to ask with all our heart.

[@jojokeane]

I'm going to remember that. Sometimes I need one more day or one more friend.

[@alexanderleach3365]

'Lord, please. Help me get one more.' Those words sure live up to the US Ranger phrase: 'No man gets left behind.'

[@Takwakin40]

This movie gets me in the feels. What an incredible human.

[@killeraxon]

Doss is the embodiment of the quote "I have no enemies."

[@johnsabin1235]

I love how the Japanese “didn’t make it” lowkey implying they just put a bullet in them.

[@matasa7463]

Nah, you can clearly see as they were being lowered, that the Japanese soldiers were basically at death's door. Triage would mark them as dead.

[@IronStaff7]

The true embodiment of a good man

[@svenyes4078]

Doss proved that the hardest battles are the one without bloodshed

[@mada575]

Love that line, "No sir, just Doss."

[@fameasser123]

"Do you want some morphine?" "Hell yes. That or a bullet" XD 4:20 Idk why but that line for some reason just made me burst out in laughter. Even in non-comedy movies Vincent Vaughn still manages to find subtle ways to make you laugh =D

[@SCADOOSH69]

Never judge a book by its cover! God Bless Doss!

[@waltermcgarvin8001]

I can always watch this movie if I see it on. Incredible human being portrayed by a great actor.

[@bigal1863]

Desmond Doss was a very great American. God bless him, his family and his legacy.

[@andryu_0764]

He was a conscientious objector and they called him a coward, but he proved to be the bravest man there was. A true hero.

[@jameslalley3787]

A true hero and angel of mercy who did God’s work with His Divine Help!

[@MrTallpoppy58]

I am a diehard atheist but "please lord help me get one more" tears me up every time.

[@tonigarguilo9510]

Don't leave earth without Him, brother. There's a reason you're drawn to this film & to Doss's story. All my respect, T

[@jokervrod1972]

They had mentioned something like this in the movie. Not all of the soldiers were believers, but they believed in desomds faith

[@anthonyt219]

A man refusing to kill but rather save is no coward. I have more respect for a person who is willing to listen and ease a strangers troubles all night than a man who boasts about his time in war or killing someone.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

People saying he's stupid for not eating some of his rations need to realize that he could've gotten sick from doing so. His body isn't used to eating meat. Also, he's still a hero even though he was malnourished. Most people wouldn't have been as brave enough to do what he did.

[@DonB.-Mulefivefive]

" Yeah, Doss the coward"..... Some coward Medal Of Honor Recepient. Honorable Discharge. Went on to lead a quiet and unwavering life in his conviction and committment to his faith and to that of humanity. Had it not been for this film, we'd never know about him, and hundreds of thousands of others just like him all equally deserving of recognition. Visited this mans grave not to long ago... All I could do was weep.... God rest you Desmond.

[@carybensilhe4869]

Please Lord, help me get one more…. My eyes swell up everytime.

[@kbforme]

Having your life saved by the guy you tried to run out of the army has to be a seriously humbling moment.

[@GAME1BOY]

This is why movies can be important for I would have never known of this GREAT man.

[@nonnyena4267]

The movie _is_ important, but a lot of what he did is not included in the movie. They cut it because they wanted it to be credible & if they included some of it, ... Well: _"nobody would believe it"_ For instance, he didn't kick the grenade; He stepped on it. When he was being carried off the Field, he was hit in the arm by sniper fire. He set the resulting _compound fracture_ with a rifle stock & crawled 300 yards to the Aid Station. If you _really_ want to know about this guy, read the books.

[@connoryoumans6552]

Saving his brothers and enemies at the same time is the pinnacle of what being a Christian really is. Value life. Even when you’re fighting a country where the enemy (satan) is heavily using his influence to keep his rule over earth and STILL valuing everyone as a Son of God. Amazing. Truly amazing. What an example! Bless Americas army and Pvt. Doss for what they did there to ensure our safety as a country and setting the example of how tyranny influenced by the devil will never win. the battle for our hearts will always be won by men/women who receive the power of Christ within them. For you will be invincible and the serpent will cower before you. Amen. 🙏🏼 have a blessed day everyone!

[@joe8206]

Desmond doss a real live captain America.

[@user-qb6mc8zx1y]

absolutelly amazing!! such courage doesn´t exist anymore...

[@Sinful_Solution]

This hit me in the feels

[@lukethegoldenminecart1297]

Sometimes the greatest warriors don't have to fight to be great

[@benelias3556]

With him as many times as you have heard this about other stories this is by far the most incredible story of heroism faith and determination of the entire War

[@ssschierbaum6740]

Doss is amazing. Andrew Garfield played him amazing.

[@bigbadgrun8821]

So... Ashamed to say that I have only seen clips of this movie and, not the movie itself. It seems riveting and apparently based on a true story ( which I have also watched the clips of.) I have two days off coming up very soon and promise to watch this movie. Lots of love!

[@LaurenT3G]

I hope you enjoyed the movie in full :D It's absolutely fantastic!

[@coolpeopleit]

"What do you mean you don't have health insurance? I'm sorry Man, I've gotta leave you here, that's just the American way!" - absolute favourite part of this movie, 10/10

[@bullwinkle5445]

By the time of Okinawa everyone in his unit knew him. His two prior combat experiences ( Guam and in the Philippines) had already earned him 2 bronze medals for valor.

[@julieenslow5915]

When you read the comments about Desmond Doss, remember two things: 1. they all thought he was a coward, and 2. he won the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions here. Add that up and you can see why the troops, the officers, heck even the generals were very confused when it came to Desmond Doss. The MOH was a necessity to help all of them deal with this confusion.

[@vikinghex]

some scenes in films just capture the moment. In your mind and stay there for a long time and it always seems to come from true events

[@Witnessmoo]

Every generation or so God sends an example of what man could be…

[@falcon3268]

Doss's story needed to be told. God sent the world a angel to save several lives in a time where the world was being torn apart. Desmond Doss truly earned his place in the heavens. God bless him.

[@YorkGod1]

One of the best war films ive seen!

[@jennasweeney7370]

The way his poor hands were shaking and were so torn up after gripping that rope for so long😢

[@anthonyroberts357]

I'm amazed at the willingness to help so many.when I was in Vietnam.we also had a Desmond doss

[@E-N-A-R-D-L-A-V]

They called him a coward, turns out, he was one of the bravest men in history.
