One of the best KZbin channels is The Fat Electrician. He does history and stories of the people who you don’t really hear about while managing to keep it funny as well. I mentioned it because he just recently did a video on the division that Desmond was in. “The Old Bastards” as they were known, were a guinea pig unit. Basically they were throwing up divisions left and right and made one of “old men” (avg age was 33) in case they were to run out of young men. They ended up crushing everything and outperforming the younger divisions.

Nah man, they had to tone down the things he did because they didn't think the audience would believe it. The soldiers at Hacksaw Ridge said it was more like 100 men he carried to safety. Plus he was in the war a lot longer than was portrayed. He did a lot more stuff they don't show.

Not just the movie toned it down. The U.S. Army actually credited him with saving over 100 soldiers, but he himself said it wasn’t so, so the 78 credited to him on his Medal of Honor citation was a compromise between him and the Army.

Not just him personally. His unit is well regarded for what they did during the war. They were a unit almost exclusively of old draftees that exceeded everyone’s expectations. The fat electrician has a 40 min video focused on the unit itself not just Desmond. Def worth a watch if this story interests you.

He was apart of the 77th ID “ the old Bastards” , at this point in the war he had served in a couple island conflicts, the unit he was apart of was so effective in combat that the marines they were fighting with and assigned to support called them the 77th Marnie division.

They ended up naming the Army Hospital in Honolulu after him. Hacksaw Ridge was actually Desmond Doss's last battle, not his first. The actual number of people he saved at Hacksaw was in dispute. Desmond claimed only 50, but witnesses said it was more like around 100, so for his Medal of Honor citation, the Army officially decided on the average: 75. But he was in three other battles. His actual total number of men saved is closer to 300, Greatest combat medic in the history of American combat medics. And rather than exaggerate his deeds, Mel Gibson actually toned it down because he didn't think people would believe it all. For example, the last man he saved was aided *after* Doss was wounded by the grenade. While he was being carried off the field, he spotted a man more wounded than he was. This is the no shit it really happened part: He rolled off the stretcher onto the ground, crawled over to the other wounded man, rendered aid, and then insisted that the men who were carrying him off the field take the other man first. While waiting for his "ride" to come back, he crawled around, helping other wounded men. The man was a blue steel badass, i tell you.

And here's another amazing thing something they also didn't put in the movie. Dos was suffering from tuberculosis at the time, he had caught it on another Island. Ended up losing half of his lung capacity. So this dude did all that shit with one lung tied behind his back, and malnourished. Motherfuker was the toughest man on the field. And in my view the guy should be leveled up to a saint

Met Mr Doss back in the 90's, in the town he retired with his wife, before she passed, Piedmont, AL. I was doing some IT work in a hardware store there and the owner introduced me to Mr Doss, as a WW2 hero. Mr Doss downplayed being a hero. I meant to look him up when I got home that day but I forgot about it until all those years later, seeing this movie.

The fact they had to downplay a lot of Desmond's feats to make it believable for the audience is crazy. To think that people would call what really happened "fiction" is hilarious. Desmond was honestly a real life Captain America! I also heard of an account where a Japanese soldier literally had Desmond in their crosshairs multiple times, and every time they tried to pull the trigger, the gun would jam or something. Crazy!

First of all thank you for your service. As you can see by my picture, I am a Sailor and the Son of a Sailor. My Dad enlisted in September, for six years in the Navy to be able to go to Pharmacist Mate school. His recuriter had told him he would be going to Boot Camp in San Diego, then to Pharmacist Mate school at Balboa Naval Hospital, since he would have over six months in the Navy when he graduated his school, he would have over six months and could take two weeks leave before his first duty station. Dad Reported to Balboa on 6 December 1941. Because of the attack the next day, Dad was shipped to Naval Hospital Pearl Harbor upon graduation of his school. In 1944 he was sent back to Balboa to go to Fleet Corpsman School and he took the only leave of his enlistment, 26 days, during his transit back to San Diego. Upon Graduation he was inetrgrated into the Marines and was in the Battle of Okinawa. The Corpsman historical photographs has a photo of Dad with the Caption saying something about a Navy Corpsman treating a civilian at an Army Field Hospital. Due to his enlistment being through 1947 he wound up being in the first group of Marine Occupation Troops into Mainland Japan and was stationed at Camp Wood Kumamoto Japan. Growing up he only talked about his his time in Pearl Harbor and in mainland Japan. We never knew about him being in the Battle of Okinawa.

They actually downplayed Doss' actions because they didn't think audiences would believe it. They settled on 75 men because Doss' objected when they wanted to write it up as over 100 men (one of the Officer's that investigated said he could confirm a minimum of 114 individuals). They compromised to get him to stop objecting.

As others have commented, in some significant ways this excellent true story of Desmond Doss was toned down to make it more believable. However, there are some things that were changed that you might want to know about. Doss and his unit had actually taken part in two previous Pacific island invasions before they got to Okinawa, and Doss had actually been decorated with the Bronze Star for Valor twice in the second battle, so Desmond was already a well respected member of the unit before Hacksaw Ridge. You can understand why they decided to compress the story entirely to the Okinawa campaign to keep the story easier to understand. Some of the other changes they made are also understandable, such as they amped up the drama of the trial a lot, and the situation where he leaves his wife at the altar while he sits in a cell is not quite the way that happened. It does not look like you have reacted to the channel yet, so I am gonna suggest you check out the video about the 77th Infantry Division posted recently by The Fat Electrician...the 77th Infantry Division was Desmond Doss' unit. The website History vs Hollywood article on this movie is pretty good, and covers most the of the stuff that they changed or were mistaken about.

fun fact the actor who portrays Capt. Jack Glover (Sam Worthington) Also Voiced "Alex Mason" in Call of Duty Black ops 1 & 2. (if you dont remember capt. glover for some reason hes the one who asks if hes wounded when doss got off the ridge, and he was the one who tried getting him out for psychiatric discharge at camp.) Mason is literally my favorite video game character and Bo1 is my Favorite video game in general. and Sam Worthington is Australian (Doing an American accent in both here and Call of Duty) he does it rly well. i love this movie man, this, band of brothers, platoon and apocalypse now are the best war movies/mini-series I've seen. Edit: if you dont know already, there was no movie magic. doss was may more brave, heroic and ballsy than the movie depicted. mel thought the movie would be unrealisted so he toned everything down.. Doss fought in (i think) Both Guam & Okinawa. my dad has showed me all of these movies my whole life. im 18 right now and my dad got me to watch hacksaw ridge because it was fairly new at the time (2017) but my dad got me to watch every movie from his time aswell (born 1980) so i didnt miss anything. i wish my generation got to watch and learn what these brave men did if they hadn't already. thank you for your service sir.

One quick thing...the draft started in September of 1940, but Desmond had a deferment because he worked in a shipyard...so it was his choice to enlist in April, 1942.

Saving Private Ryan and 1917 are great, but the ones that are based on real people always hit differently. There are far FAR too many stories that still need to be told. The whole "I can't hear you" scene is so good. Should check out Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo-Jima. Both movies by Eastwood focus on different sides of the battle.

Great reaction, it was very interesting to hear your perspective. The mental health effects like PTSD after combat are still a huge problem. Behavioral health care has gotten better than it was, definitely, and there is less stigma to it but it’s still too often hidden to avoid career consequences or just doesn’t have enough resources available to help. I’m in medicine myself, and my mom recently retired from doing VA ratings and there is just too much of it that only shows up long after as the consequences of trying to self treat. We still have a long way to go with treating mental health care with the same kind of validity as any physical problem… both for stigmas that come with it and lack of funding.

Those are the people whose tales we tell down the ages, and Desmond Doss was definitely one of those.

I recommend you do some fat electrician videos. He does great military videos and has one on the 77th infantry nicknamed the old bastards that Desmond doss was a part of. He has alot of great videos and he is a great storyteller and is also a veteran

Just found your channel, awesome reaction to this movie. If you're looking for another good war movie, I highly recommend the movie "Hamburger Hill." It's definitely an underrated movie that deserves more attention.

The Medic Who fought a War without a Weapon kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGmkmJqYdruGhLM . They down played his heroics in this flim, and the Battle location was not as spacious and was even more deadly from the attackers side, if you studied the terrain of the actual battlefield, that battle was a suicide mission. Also the unit sent to the ridge were mostly season troops and the support from the many moving parts they managed to take over that ridge after the loss of so many lives.

You should check out the Fat Electrician and his 77th division video on the company Desmond Doss was in. It's really good.

Since you like power rangers did you catch seeing Firass Dirani in this movie? The camera pans on his face a few times. He plays the Red Mystic Force Ranger

Exaggeration? It was un-exaggeration! Most of the soldiers said it was over 100. Some said it was almost 200! They toned it down because they didn't think audiences would believe it. If I managed to lower ONE fully grown man down that ridge. I'd call it a day. "Lord, help me get one more."??? After one, you sound like a crazy person! But 75?!? (The low end of the scale.) Dude, take a break. Get some sleep. Have a plate of nachos.

Hey Corpsman, as a fellow medic, I appreciate your real reaction to this masterpiece of a movie. When you get a chance, check on KZbin for Doss's full story. And read his MoH citation. It's freakin wild.

Actually you are wrong. This movie follows the truth very closely. Mel Gibson left a lot out because he said the people watching the movie wouldn't believe what he actually did. For example, when he was on a stretcher they passed a soldier that was seriously wounded. Desmond rolled off the litter and told them to take the other man. It took some time to get back to him. In the meantime he was shot in the arm by a sniper. It shattered his arm. In one of the pictures of the real Desmond you can see him in a cast on his left arm. For the Medal of Honor documentation the Army said he lowered 150 men. Desmond said he thought it was only 40-50. They settled on 75 for the citation.
