Desmond's real exploits were even crazier in real life. The film makers had to tone down what he did cause they thought audiences would find it too unbelievable.

One thing that has always impressed me about you, Eralia, is your humanity. It would be easier to go cold, distant and uncaring. But you're bravely out there, feeling, despite the jerks and the know-it-alls. You're something special, I'm glad you're here, I deeply respect that you're putting yourself between home and harm (even if it wasn't your idea), and I'm grateful for your service. Keep shining and sharing.

If you want to see from the Japanese perspective, Clint Eastwood released a fantastic two part series set around the Battle of Iwo Jima - Flags of of Father, which covers the American side, then Letters from Iwo Jima which covers the Japanese side of the conflict.

'War, what is it good for...absolutely nothing', lyrics of the chorus of the 1970 single titled 'War', recorded by Motown soul singer Edwin Starr. Number One on charts for 3 weeks, but got much radio airplay. Viet Nam war was beginning to finally wind down.

The Battle of Hacksaw Ridge was extremely bloody. Mel Gibson did a pretty good job showing how violent that battle actually was. The Battle for Okinawa led to the deaths of 12,000 American soldiers and sailors. Of that 12,000 KIAs, 5,000 were from the Navy. That leaves 7,000 KIAs on the island portion of the battle. 2,500 men died on Hacksaw Ridge. That means that the Battle of Hacksaw Ridge accounted for 36% of all deaths on Okinawa. What made the battle so costly? 1. The Maeda Escarpment, Hacksaw, had been turned into an underground battleship according to the men that fought there. 2. The Japanese employed a Reverse Slope defense or a defense in depth. The purpose of this type of defense is to inflict as many casualties as possible. 3. Much of the fighting in the Pacific was hand to hand. 4. The Japanese did not follow the rules of war set by the Geneva Convention of 1929. It was a war crime to kill any medical personnel. Finally, it was a war crime to fake surrender then attack your enemy.

There is one thing the movie got wrong the men under Desmond's care already knew he wasn't a coward as he had already been awarded two Bronze stars with "V" device for valor under fire months before Hacksaw. He also did a lot of stuff not shown in the movie but listed in his MoH citation. The movie makes it seem he was only there a few days but look at the timeline in his MoH cite. Desmond Doss Medal of Honor citation - "He was a company aidman when the 1st Battalion assaulted a jagged escarpment 400 feet high. As our troops gained the summit, a heavy concentration of artillery, mortar, and machine-gun fire crashed into them, inflicting approximately 75 casualties and driving the others back. Pfc. Doss refused to seek cover and remained in the fire-swept area with the many stricken, carrying them one by one to the edge of the escarpment and there lowering them on a rope-supported litter down the face of a cliff to friendly hands. On 2 May, he exposed himself to heavy rifle and mortar fire in rescuing a wounded man 200 yards forward of the lines on the same escarpment; and two days later he treated four men who had been cut down while assaulting a strongly defended cave, advancing through a shower of grenades to within eight yards of enemy forces in a cave's mouth, where he dressed his comrades' wounds before making four separate trips under fire to evacuate them to safety. On 5 May, he unhesitatingly braved enemy shelling and small-arms fire to assist an artillery officer. He applied bandages, moved his patient to a spot that offered protection from small-arms fire, and, while artillery and mortar shells fell close by, painstakingly administered plasma. Later that day, when an American was severely wounded by fire from a cave, Pfc. Doss crawled to him where he had fallen 25 feet from the enemy position, rendered aid, and carried him 100 yards to safety while continually exposed to enemy fire. On 21 May, in a night attack on high ground near Shuri, he remained in exposed territory while the rest of his company took cover, fearlessly risking the chance that he would be mistaken for an infiltrating Japanese and giving aid to the injured until he was himself seriously wounded in the legs by the explosion of a grenade. Rather than call another aidman from cover, he cared for his own injuries and waited five hours before litter bearers reached him and started carrying him to cover. The trio was caught in an enemy tank attack and Pfc. Doss, seeing a more critically wounded man nearby, crawled off the litter and directed the bearers to give their first attention to the other man. Awaiting the litter bearers' return, he was again struck, this time suffering a compound fracture of one arm. With magnificent fortitude he bound a rifle stock to his shattered arm as a splint and then crawled 300 yards over rough terrain to the aid station. Through his outstanding bravery and unflinching determination in the face of desperately dangerous conditions Pfc. Doss saved the lives of many soldiers. His name became a symbol throughout the 77th Infantry Division for outstanding gallantry far above and beyond the call of duty.” Look up "Desmond Doss This is Your Life" here on YT to meet Desmond his family and some of the men he saved. Above all you get to see how truly humble he was.

You really need to check out Hamburger Hill, a truly great war film that depicts the personal expense on the soldier. Very gritty and heavy and gives new appreciation for soldiers. It is about a group of soldiers in a company tasked with taking a hill in vietnam that was fought over for days, just to leave it a short while later.

I'm glad you're home safe (at least I hope you are and this is just part of your pre-recorded footage, late editing/posting due to fecking copyright shite! lol)!! I recall recommending this film to you on one of your polls a while back... as its such a hard hitting, gritty, warfare movie based on real events! What I didn't realise when I recommended this film, was how much of the film I had forgotten from the first 3/4, before his heroic actions atop of "hacksaw-ridge"... I'm going to be re-watching this myself in full soon... If you're looking for other warfare films to watch now you're home, i've seen a couple good recommendations within the comments to this reaction.... "We Were Soldiers" Is an amazing film! P.S Feck those jealous Feckers who where too dull to bring a few comfort items with them on their depoyment! Everyone who serves their country and especially those who deploy, are Top notch imo! Just because you have a comfy bed in your barracks (as you thought ahead before you shipped out) does Not mean you're not deployed... Feck the Feckers who say otherwise!!!!! P.P.S the icecreame comment made me chuckle! lol

Hugo Weaving did some criminally underrated work in this movie. I remember rolling my eyes during his first scene because I thought he was going to be the Hillbilly Drunkard that's in pretty much every movie that has a rural setting. Then I gradually realized it's a brilliantly layered portrayal of a man in unimaginable pain trying to survive in a place and time where men didn't ask for help, and where there wouldn't be any help even if he somehow mustered up the will to ask for it. PTSD is a living hell for far too many people even though we know what it is and we know what causes it. How much worse was it back when no one knew what It was?

The history of Desmond's unit is very interesting as well. He was a member of the 77th Infantry Division. An experimental unit made up of older volunteers. The US military wanted to see what a unit of older recruits was capable of in case the war ran long and the supply of young soldiers became limited. There is a KZbin channel that did a video on the 77th ID. I suggest Old Age & Treachery - The Unstoppable 77th Infantry Division by the fat electrician (a former US Army medic) It's quite good. Possibly worth a reaction. Nick's channel is very reactor friendly. He often comments to reaction videos.

Gospel of John 13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”, that’s what I think about when I think of this movie. I know a lot of of people don’t believe in God, but Desmond’s faith carried him and those 75+ men he helped, his love for his brothers in arms was a devine love. I am glad you watched this film, you being military gives your reactions a unique perspective. Your view on wars is valid and in most cases I agree, but there are moments where people have to defend themselves because we are a flawed species. Thanks for sharing your reaction, thanks for serving 🇺🇸, please be careful, and God Bless you!!!

@MarcoMM1 Great reaction like always. This movie is so emotional. And the real story is WAY crazier he saved over 150 people but wouldn't take credit for it, he was wounded like 19 freaking times, it's UNREAL that he did all that most of the time while starving since he wouldn't eat the meat based rations... Insane hero, EVERYONE should know who he was. I read that Desmond insisted he saved 50 that particular night. The army said it was 100. So they compromised and reported 75. Certain people's real lives exceed what fiction can handle. Doss was one of them, he was a fcking Superman. There are some fun-facts about it. Doss’s son watched the screening of the movie. It’s said he was moved to tears as he saw the great job that Andrew Garfield did in portraying his father. Mel Gibson said that the war scenes were based on his nightmares. Mel Gibson’s father was a WWII veteran that would tell his son of his days on the battlefield as bedtime stories. There’s no doubt that there would be a few restless nights following that. Mel Gibson was originally mean to take the role of Sergeant Howell but wanted to stay focused on directing instead. Doss was not the only man to serve without a weapon. There were several individuals that refused to carry a weapon and were granted the opportunity to serve without touching a rifle. Keep up the good.

The part where Desmond on the Edge of the Ridge and asked the Lord, what is it what he wants him to do? Desmond heard words Medic someone was calling for Medic. Desmond knew what his Lord wanted him to do. Desmond got his Helmet and going into the explosions from the artillery shells from the Battleships. When he was going into the explosions it reminded me a verse. Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Next you should watch The Band of Brothers, the best Miniseries in 2001 with 20 nominations and won 7 Emmys. Band of Brothers is a story of Easy Company of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division and their mission in World War II Europe, from Operation Overlord to V-J Day.

There are several important things the movie changes about the story. First Des' biggest problem wasn't that he wouldn't carry a weapon. It was the not working Saturdays. Lots of his fellows didn't understand or know what a Seventh Day Advocate is and since they had off Sunday they didn't see Des and others, mostly Jewish soldiers, working. His case never got to court martial since the letters about his status being protected arrived first. He was already married when he joined the Army and when he was restricted to base he was in truth going to see his brother off before he Hal deployed. Before Hacksaw Des and his regiment had already seen action on Guam so they weren't the green troops shown in the movie. In fact Doss already had a Bronze Star for valor. Doss was actually wounded a second time while waiting to be evacuated when he was crawling to help another wounded soldier while the staging area was being shelled.

United States Marine Corps major general and two-time Medal of Honor recipient Smedley D. Butler on war : "It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes"

Three thoughts. 1. As you're discovering, some of the best movies are based on real stories. 2. Speaking of real stories, if you haven't checked out the respective Band of Brothers/Pacific/Masters of the Air series, you'll have to check them out. 3. When you stated "war...what is it good for", I immediately went to the following Bruce Springsteen song from 1985 titled "War"... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5-cYn9vnNR-nLM

My two relatively minor criticisms of this movie are: 1. It's not the best portrayal of the Pacific side of the war. It's hard to squeeze an accurate version of the drawn out conflict into a movie, and much of this movie isn't even on the front, so they did a decent job. It's just not the best. 2. They could've give Desmond Doss the full credit of his true story. He may not have faced the same adversity at home as shown in the movie, but his time on the front was far more than the "one and done" shown here. Hacksaw ridge was far from his first taste of combat, and he was repeatedly wounded while malnourished. The Pacific does a better job of realistically portraying the war, and Desmond Doss would probably need his own 10+ hour miniseries to do him justice.

The Japanese were cruel and terrible during the war. I'm not just saying that, the way they treated POWs and women was awful, they did experiments on the Chinese and Korean civilian populations. Anyway in okinawa the Japanese soldiers were starving and they told the civilians that the Americans would come and eat them and SA the women. Those civilians jumped from the cliffs to escape what they thought Americans would do. The civilians also hid in family tombs. I was stationed at Camp Courtney 1000 years ago but I did some studying.

you have had it rough with your background and going through these war movies. I would strongly suggest you take a brief break on the war movies and watch something light hearted. I would suggest "Inside Out" (2015) or "How to Train Your Dragon" (2010). they are both great movies and will leave you with a sore face from smiling so much.

If you're looking for a movie that has the same themes of brotherhood forged in common struggle for a purpose, but maybe need a break from the historical war film genre, may I humbly recommend: The Lord of the Rings. You'll get all the feels, and the camaraderie, and action, but the fight is *LITERALLY* against Evil itself, so it's less emotionally complicated than any real war.

The story of Desmond Doss is worth learning about by reading one of the many books written about him. However this movie is an unrealistic, over the top portrayal directed by a racist, bigot, womanizing, religious zealot…oh and the casting of Vince Vaughn as a drill sergeant may be the worst casting ever.

Eralia I don't understand why he blocked me from his Instagram account if he is defending you because there were messages with insults towards you for being in the United States Army and on top of that some people had flags on political issues that we already knew about. I don't understand why the block 😢
