Hacksaw Ridge

Desmond Doss, Medal of Honor recipient and conscientious objector. Overcoming adversity and ridicule from his comrades, he eventually won their respect through is actions. He shunned any kind of weapons and still performed unbelievable acts of bravery in the pacific campaign.

Most of the information in this video was sourced from Desmond Doss - Conscientious Objector by Frances M. Doss and is available on Amazon.

I'm actually kinda surprised you guys didn't mention how Doss lost his pocket Bible on one of the battles, so his entire company searched for it until they found it and mailed it back to him. But still, great animation/story.

When the movie Hacksaw Ridge came out, the game Battlefield 1 was at the height of its popularity. One of the classes in-game was a medic, and suddenly there were players everywhere doing Hacksaw Ridge Challenge play, never firing their guns as they played a medic, and only going for heals and revives.

Lo and behold, they often were in the top few on the leaderboards during matches, as you could rack up points very quickly keeping your team alive, rather than trying to kill the enemy.

I'm sure there's some sort of lesson in this, but not sure what.

"You're supposed to start the assault 10 minutes ago!"
"We're still waiting for Private Doss to finish praying for us, sir"

I’m a disabled veteran and I’m not ashamed to say that I wept like a baby at the end of Hacksaw Ridge.

Never been religous myself...
But this man and his legend...makes a man ponder.
A true soldier, and a good man

"While everybody is taking life, I'm going to be saving it"

[andylynx]

No guns, just rescuing wounded soldiers. He's obviously a legend.

Soldiers:* injured in the battle field*

Ok but can we just appreciate the amount of effort put into making this!? The animations looks so good

[paulahillier]

I am sure he got his reward in heaven. Such a kind and courageous man.

This is why “never fire on a medic” was made a rule of war

[jomahawk]

Imagine how many families owe their lineage to this man. How many kids and grandkids had the chance to be born because their father wasn’t left to die on Hacksaw Ridge

When a game forces you to be the bad guy but you want to do a good guy play through

[USSLongIslandCVE]

Japanese soldiers: You can’t just save 75 men, risk your life 3 other times, get a Medal of Honor, and all without firing a single bullet!

Desmond Doss: Haha, Jesus goes
