Hacksaw Ridge. Based on a true story. He was a medic who refused to carry a weapon. He was there to serve his country and save lives not take them. He did just that.
Cpl Desmond Doss was NO coward...He was a LEGEND, and he will always be remembered as a LEGEND....if you don't know, look this Warrior up and see for yourself
I took your suggestion and read his bio, Thank you!! That man was a HERO through and through. Not only did he get bullied by his unit and commanding officers, but he had so much faith in Great Spirit that he put his life on the line for prior mentioned "bullies." A true hero and an outstanding human..❤
@@DarkSyster while the word warrior can often mean someone trained greatly in combat, the term can also refer to someone who shows great courage, perseverance, or resilience in facing challenges or adversity. So yes, by definition, he was a warrior
The reason why they called him a coward is because he didn't want a weapon but until he showed his true colors and saved everybody then they turn course and called him a hero and savior to those men. That's what you got to think you got to put yourself in the shoes of those soldiers he fought with they didn't believe he was worse than anything until he showed he was worth something.
Desmond Doss was a real Cpl in the Army. He served as a medic but was a conscientious objector who never touched a weapon. He saved 75 trapped men without shedding a single drop of enemy blood. He was wounded but still kept going to save his men. A true hero
Not only did he save that many of his own men. There were actually desd enemies found in the tunnels with american bandages. He tried to save every life he could despite some of them wanting to take his. The man is the definition of legend.
Its a shame that it took 80 freaking years but Desmond Doss became a legend because of this great movie. To me, Hacksaw Ridge is the greatest WW2 movie ever made. Its Desmonds passion to save lives that makes every death on the battlefield that much more effective and painful. Thank you, Mel Gibson for your amazing talent in front of the camera and behind the camera.
@@kymberlym.d.a.collier3126it is, Desmond Doss is a real Medal of Honor recipient who saved dozens of lives during this battle alone, just like the movies on Audie Murphy toning down his actions to make it believable this movie did the same for Doss.
One of the amazing things is that he never ran while he was up there. When he came down, his uniform was riddled with bullet holes from Japanese machine guns fired at him, and they never hit him. Just his clothes. He was praying the whole time. One of the things Mel Gibson wanted to put in but felt people would believe was when he was being brought back, he rolled himself off of his stretcher, crawled over to a man who was hurt worse than him, used his one good arm to render aid to him, and then forced the other men to take the other man. He started crawling back because a Japanese grenade had shredded his legs when he covered it to save the men he was with. A Japanese sniper tried shooting him but couldn't pull the trigger. His finger froze. He took his hand off the rifle, and his trigger finger was working fine. He went to shoot Doss again, and his finger froze, and he couldn't pull the trigger again. He stopped trying to shoot him. Later on after the war, a Japanese man came up to Desmond and said, "I am a Christian because of you." Ross gave glory to God but asked why. The man told him he was a sniaper who had tried to kill him and explained that he wondered why and started searching his soul, etc, and found God. Desmond led many men to God through his example including the enemy.
@ButUrWrongTho If you want to get upset about what I said, then find the interviews with the men he saved. Just because you don't like it and didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen. It just means you're ignorant about what was documented.
@michaelfrench4153 I don't care about the eye witness accounts. His uniform being riddled with bullets while he's untouched is beyond credulity. Was he wearing a uniform that was 10 X too large for him? Or does his skin disintegrate bullets once they pierced the fabric?
@ButUrWrongTho You obviously haven't seen many men in uniform from back then because of their underdeveloped bodies because of the lack of nutrition they were able to get during the great depression. Plus he ate vegetarian so he super skinny and yes. His uniform barely fit.
He’s the first conscientious objector to earn the Medal of Honor everything that he did shouldn’t be forgotten by anyone the lives he saved and what he did is nothing short of legendary

He once told me that the bravest men he served with were the cooks who would crawl through the mud, under enemy fire to mot only bring the soldiers food but the one thing they deemed the most important thing for survivsl: dry socks. Not every hero wears a cape....or carries a gun into battle.
These stories are the best ones to hear. My grandfather was a mechanic in the navy during the war. Him and a couple of his other mechanic buddies kept an engine malfunction from causing an explosion while the word to abandon ship had already been given. 3 engine mechanics saved an entire ship.

I was lucky enough to walk on that same battle field as Desmond Doss... The lady giving the tour was an Okinawan...She came up to me and told me Private Doss saved her when she was very young .... pulled her out of a burning hut ... She was the only one to survive in her family... Thanks to private Doss.... I felt a chill that day what a great story.... Semper Fi RIP
True story of Desmond Doss!! Hacksaw Ridge is the name of this wonderful movie. This is a magnificent story of faith. " One more Lord, one more" is what he kept praying. He alone saved over 70 injured men while under enemy fire.
One thing the movie never did mention is that Japanese soldiers tried to fire at doss but all their guns jammed. But would fire again when not towards doss direction. They didn't put in in the movie as it sounded, unbelievable. An act of God if you ask me
My favorite part about this is when the directors were told this story they decided to dial down desmond's feats because they believed some of them were to far fetched to be believed.
@@DocLeQuack Ever heard of the power of faith, friend? It's an incredible medium that exists in all of us, some more than others. Everyone attributes their faith differently. Some do so to God, others to Bhudda, still others to Brahma, and there's even more out there that attribute it to no man-created entity. In Doss's case, while he himself performed the actions, he did so with the full belief that he'd put his faith in God and that God would deliver him and his brothers in arms. Obviously, it was faith well-placed.
This is no movie! This is a true story of a man and God! He wanted to save lives not take them. Thats exactly what this brave man did. Salute to good sir and praise god that kept you safe to do gods work.
Doss "The Coward" is the man who walked into the hellfire and brimstone of the hells of some of the worst battlefields of WWII unarmed and saved though the count differs 75 men on Hacksaw ridge, was shot at and wounded, had a grenade go off wounding him a second time, multiple counts of Japanese snipers having him in their sights and their guns jamming, carried off on a stretcher only to roll off it to give it up to a different wounded soldier to start giving aid to another and this all being an undernourished vegetarian.....if thats a coward then I hope to be a 1/3rd of the coward that Private First Class Desmond Doss was.
Just a same, probably very slim chance of anyone in our services today would go to that length thanks to the new training. Just think how low our volunteers are.
Gave him a nickname too. "The Man God Refused to Let Die" Bc he saved so many people and so many things kept happening that allowed him to do this. The guns kept jamming. The bullets kept missing when they needed to. God had his hand over that boy and went "NOT TODAY KIDDO!"
That’s a hero, no matter how you cut it. What an amazing man and what amazing life he lived praising God saving lives. He said a good example for all of us he gave all he had
They call him “Doss the coward” even though he was fully willing and ready to run into a firefight with no means of self defense. That takes balls made of titanium. Edit: Thanks for all the likes, and for christ sakes why can't there be some positivity without people having to insert modern politics?
@alexlauria4076 Trump lives rent free in your programmed mind. No one even mentioned him and this clip has nothing to do with politics. Go see a therapist.
This movie is handsdown the best movie I've seen . The cast and acting was impeccable and spot on , the fact that it was based on a true story that there was a person who was faithful enough that he put himself in danger to safe his fallen comrads is touching . Particularly at the last scene when they were gonna go back up again but they themselves said they wouldn't without doss by their side and waited for him to finished praying .
Desmond Doss is a hero so far beyond the obvious . He has strength beyond measure a caracter that few will obtain, an unwavering conviction to what he believed in with no compromise, he used caring and compassion as his weapons and is role model with no rival.
The God that was in him was far bigger than the enemy he faced. Unfortunately, he is not held as the example for our youth to follow. Drag queen story hour is somehow construed as heroic?
Most dont know that Doss was a Seventh day Adventist. He didnt believe in killing(thou shalt not kill) So he didnt. Rather, he put himself in the bravest danger saving his comrades from imminent death on the front lines. He saved MANY by his HEROIC actions, not cowardice! He trusted God and put his faith into action. Many changed their opinions about him as they were alive bc of him! Amen!!!
Was an incredible movie! Really showed true heroism! Would like to thank all those who have served and currently serving ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart
There were an incredible number of conscientious objectors forced into uniforms in WWI and WWII, and I'm glad they told the stories of Doss, Sgt York, and Audie Murphy. My granddad and his best friend were two of them in WWI. They left part of themselves in France.
Ive watched Sgt York a handful of times. Never knew it was based on a true story. I knew To Hell and Back was Audie Murphys story. He also played in Red Badge of Courage if I remember right
Many were not FORCED. They volunteered. It was a different time. Not like the people today that couldn’t be inconvenienced to miss their morning Starbucks let alone fight a war.
@@bobby886 - Reading Is Fundamental. Conscientious Objectors WERE forced. There were other people that were volunteers. Don't be stupid and conflate the two groups. The Peace Movement in the US a hundred years ago was bigger than the glittery, drug-fueled one in the 60s, and it spanned multiple generations. Read a book.
@@rileyjudge4622 right, in the movie the ten commandments they left in Moses parting the red sea. But Doss saving lives through hell fire is unbelievable.
I still remember, when he pray "Please God, help me to save one more". I don't know if that is a right line, but the way he say it, truely same with the real person Doss said it.
Doss had God on his side. ❤ To have such a profound affect on people all these years later speaks very loudly of this incredible man and his Faith. The world needs more men like Doss. Not a coward but a true hero. Thank you, Cpl Doss, and all those who have served and are still serving. May God Bless you all with safe returns.
They actually downplayed what this MAN did because they didn't think the audience would believe it. Stop the discussion that men and women are the same. We are supposed to PROTECT THEM like Desmond Doss did.
I’m sure the movie didn’t and cover the whole story but I love that they thought he was a coward because he didn’t want to kill anyone. Then found out he was brave because he wanted to save people even the Japanese soldier in the cave. I’m talking about only the movie here
Being a hero isn't having no fear. It is acting in spite of that fear. No one knows how you will respond when there is an emergency. It is pure instinct. There have been plenty of times in my life where people who you never thought would falter have turned and ran. And those you don't consider save the day.
Not very many people noticed in this scene, but before Dawes jumped off to finally save himself, he made sure Smithy’s was with him. He wasn’t gonna leave Smithy behind up there. Smithy dies on day 2 right before the rest of Dawes Platoon/Battalion were pushed off the ridge. Dawes wasn’t gonna leave his friend behind. If you notice in the shot, you see Dawes and another body, that was smithy. Many folks miss that detail.
At least get his name right. Show the hero some respect rather than posting for your own ego Mr Knowitall. No, I'm not helping you get his name correct, show him some respect by at least making the effort.
This dude Desmond Doss Deserves WAY MORE CREDIT for he did for his Squad!!! You gotta name something after the guy!!! my God that's the most incredible thing I've ever seen or heard of!!!Shout out to Desmond Doss RIH I'm praying for paradise for you brother🙏🏿he was WAYYYY beyond HERO😢!!!
Thank you Mr. Doss! You served your country well and made all America proud! I am sorry we have let this once great country that you risked so much and fought so hard for, be dragged so dark down in such a short time!
Medics have to be the bravest men alive. They risk their lives, unarmed, to save the lives of the wounded. Doss may be a little better than some but they all deserve the greatest respect.
he saved 75 wounded soldiers and he carried more than that im pretty sure its been alittle bit since i've watched anything about him he was definitely a one of kind hero. he past in the early 2000s i think in september not sure if im messing the truth up alittle if i am then im sorry for telling yall wrong
Desmond Thomas Doss: Born February 7th, 1919. Death March 23rd, 2006. Buried April 3rd, 2006 Chattanooga National Cemetery, Tennessee Army Combat Medic with the rank of Corporal. Corporal Doss was a Conscientious Objector who by their religious beliefs would not carry a firearm. His length of service was from the years 1942-1946. He was awarded a Medal of Honor, 2 Bronze Stars; one for Guam and one for the Philippines; and 3 Purple Hearts
@@darkraisprodigy3696 yes exactly and was born in Lynchburg VA. Same town his brother and his Father(World War 1) who's best friends are buried. As are his brother and parents.
They actually decided to leave out much of what Corporal Desmond Doss did because they thought people wouldn't believe it was a true story. He achieved many more fantastical feats than what they include in the movie. The man was an absolute hero and barely survived to save wounded soldiers on the battlefield. A real legend.
The guy in the tent won't have called him a coward.... Doss already had two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart for actions in Guam and The Philippines....I know they had to put that in there because of all the Audience saw was Basic training and this Battle....
Never ever judge a man by your own standards. You don't know who he is . I am such a man . Always underestimated .. it's because I don't want your praise I have saved many lives. Faught impossible foes , but God gave me my one request, anonymity. I don't want your praise. I just want to be a good man..I fully respect this man . God bless all mortal angels..
My favorite part of this movie is that they had to leave out a ton of what he did since people would say it’s fake and just a movie, that’s how awesome Desmond Doss was in real life.
@@Dan016Though because of his personal demons, Gibson has all but ruined his opportunities to act in anything that doesn't basically go straight to video, or streaming services, but Hacksaw Ridge proved that in spite of the fact quality acting roles for Gibson are now few and far between, the man can certainly still direct. He has one hell of a cinematic resume when it comes to his abilities behind the camera; no doubt about it.
Im no Christian, but both scenes of him going "please god, let me save one more" had me crying dude. Like actual tears streaming down my face. Thought i was done and then they put the real doss recalling the story. This movie was GOOD.
My Dad was a medic in WWII in France mostly. The only weapon he carried was his M3 Trench Knife. 2 Purple Hearts and 2 Bronze Stars. He told me I went to save lives, not take them. Plus his Mother’s family were all from Germany.
Their are so many amazing stories of courage , brotherhood and selflessness of our veterans. Most American citizens don't know and don't care. Some of our heroes never even told their families. They say Im no hero. I just did what anyone would do. Read or watch Unbreakable. Its incredible.
Man, this story is just wild! 💥 It's crazy how Doss showed so much courage without even carrying a weapon. It really makes you think about what being a hero truly means. And for real, I love how movies like this remind us of real-life legends. What a legend! 🙌
@@monza1002000 Get to know Him now, before it's too late. Take it from one who was allowed to return. If for nothing but to give you a witness, it is worth it.
Such a brilliant film about a truly heroic man,he even saved some of the enemy and just kept on his faith in the face of everything and everyone says he was a cowardly custard(custard gets hard skin and Doss had the thickest skin of all to continue saving lives though people called him a coward!he's sat at the creators front row in heaven!thanks for your service and the same for all servicemen and women!God bless you all!✌️🤓👍🙏🏅😉🌟🎉😉🎊
There was a Hingarian, also a Jew, who survived a Holocaust camp. He joined the US Army and was sent to Korea. He saw action that he was reccommended being awarded a Medal of Honor. He later was captured with many of his unit and placed in horrible prison camp conditions. His Nazi concentration camp experienced helped him save many lived with care. He also stole food he isef tp geed his fellow soldiers. They offerred himfreedom after catching his stealing when the discovered he was Himgarian born. He refused. He was released with the prisonet exchanges. He went to the USA, married and raised a family. Years later he attended a reunion. Those there were happy he was alive. They acted to get his previous Medal of Honor reccommendations reconsidered. President George W Bush presentefd him with the awsrd. He passed away in 2015.
Just a friendly suggestion... I highly recommend that you proofread your comments before you post them, or at least proofread them afterwards and then edit to make corrections. It seems that you have good things to say, and express them well, but the typos & "auto-correct" mistakes (more like "auto-INcorrect 😜) really take away a lot from what you're saying and make some of it not understandable.
He was a menber of 77th Infantry Division nicknamed " the Old Bastards" because they where older than the others soldier, but they was a bunch of absolute beasts, literally destroyed every enemy they faced, they where so brave that Us Marines started calling them "marines" and treated them as real Marines
What makes it even more amazing is that this is based off of a true story, and the director left out much of what doss did, believing that the miracles doss did would not be believed to he real by the viewers
This movie brought tears to my eyes. That man's dedication to his fellow man was exponential. It was a testimony to what selflessness truly looks like. If more people were like him I think the world would be an amazing place.
Doss was the definition of Hero period. The film only shows part of it but he was courageous before combat for sticking to his principles. MOH without firing a shot. Respect. RIP Corporal Doss.
And it's based on a true story...I watch an Aussie Rockit Kit...fishing guy! Awesome dude!! As an American I Love you Aussies! I hate the world is going DEI commie!...
Crazy how "Hacksaw Ridge" is now in the middle of a city! Granted it's a park now, and it doesn't look anything like an apocalyptic hell scape that it was! But there are still reference points. It boggles the mind how much Battlefields can change. Hacksaw in less than 50 years and then you have "Bunker Hill", Boston, MA, which is pretty much in the middle of the City with no reference points in how that battle happened because of all the buildings covering everything up! Why I like Gettysburg National Military Park....
When your life story is told in cinema you were a hero. When the movie has to cut out some of your true documented story to make it believable you’re a legend. Doss was a legend amongst legends.
Cpl. Desmond Doss was very much a real man and everything happened as depicted at Hacksaw Ridge. We should all be so lucky to have a doc as committed as Corporal Doss was.
He was a conscientious objector who actually volunteered to sign up for the army! How crazy is that. The army put him through hell in training but stuck at it & went to war, steadfast in his principles. After he saved a solider and hoisted them down the ridge, he would say to God "just one more" then go look for more qwounded, even germans, which shows what a truly compassionate man he was, a real hero who stuck to his principles & beliefs of not touching a gun but was able to save an incredible 75 men.

Doss "The Coward" is the man who walked into the hellfire and brimstone of the hells of some of the worst battlefields of WWII unarmed and saved though the count differs 75 men on Hacksaw ridge, was shot at and wounded, had a grenade go off wounding him a second time, multiple counts of Japanese snipers having him in their sights and their guns jamming, carried off on a stretcher only to roll off it to give it up to a different wounded soldier to start giving aid to another and this all being an undernourished vegetarian.....if thats a coward then I hope to be a 1/3rd of the coward that Private First Class Desmond Doss was.
Christ.... If he's a coward, I'm not a coward.
Just a same, probably very slim chance of anyone in our services today would go to that length thanks to the new training.
Just think how low our volunteers are.
Gave him a nickname too.
"The Man God Refused to Let Die"
Bc he saved so many people and so many things kept happening that allowed him to do this.
The guns kept jamming. The bullets kept missing when they needed to.
God had his hand over that boy and went "NOT TODAY KIDDO!"
Amen to that!@@furionmax7824
Amen. That’s a bad ass with brass balls right there. And a little help on the side as they say
Greatest soldier ever. Bravest man that walked this earth. A real true hero
And luckiest!
❤
Hacksaw Ridge is one of my top 25 go to movies of all time.
Wow,it’s so good.❤❤
Yup!
Same. The courage that young man had was incredible and the effect he had on the rest of the men shows.
Best of all time is all quiet on the western front 1930s and 2022 version, war horse, private peaceful and many more.
What I think of T-34 the movie?
That’s a hero, no matter how you cut it. What an amazing man and what amazing life he lived praising God saving lives. He said a good example for all of us he gave all he had
They call him “Doss the coward” even though he was fully willing and ready to run into a firefight with no means of self defense. That takes balls made of titanium.
Edit: Thanks for all the likes, and for christ sakes why can't there be some positivity without people having to insert modern politics?
No it doesn't but I will tell you what it takes it takes bravery and honor love honesty and principles...
None which trump has by the way
True Hero

@@alexlauria4076 It is called freedom of speech. Get used to it or leave the country.
This movie is handsdown the best movie I've seen . The cast and acting was impeccable and spot on , the fact that it was based on a true story that there was a person who was faithful enough that he put himself in danger to safe his fallen comrads is touching . Particularly at the last scene when they were gonna go back up again but they themselves said they wouldn't without doss by their side and waited for him to finished praying .
Desmond Doss is a hero so far beyond the obvious . He has strength beyond measure a caracter that few will obtain, an unwavering conviction to what he believed in with no compromise, he used caring and compassion as his weapons and is role model with no rival.
He had his great belief in God with him.
Maybe, JESUS?!
The God that was in him was far bigger than the enemy he faced.
Unfortunately, he is not held as the example for our youth to follow. Drag queen story hour is somehow construed as heroic?
A real giant of faith
Full-on faith-mode. Gotta love it, it's leads us to do the impossible.
Most dont know that Doss was a Seventh day Adventist. He didnt believe in killing(thou shalt not kill) So he didnt. Rather, he put himself in the bravest danger saving his comrades from imminent death on the front lines. He saved MANY by his HEROIC actions, not cowardice!
He trusted God and put his faith into action. Many changed their opinions about him as they were alive bc of him! Amen!!!
The interviews of the real Doss is incredible too. I recommend watching the movie and watching any interview with him.
Where can we find the interview?
@@paulsauve3855 they are at the end of the movie
Was an incredible movie! Really showed true heroism! Would like to thank all those who have served and currently serving ! Thank you from the bottom of my heart
There were an incredible number of conscientious objectors forced into uniforms in WWI and WWII, and I'm glad they told the stories of Doss, Sgt York, and Audie Murphy.
My granddad and his best friend were two of them in WWI. They left part of themselves in France.
Ive watched Sgt York a handful of times. Never knew it was based on a true story.
I knew To Hell and Back was Audie Murphys story. He also played in Red Badge of Courage if I remember right
But Doss Wasn't forced to go was he ?
Many were not FORCED. They volunteered. It was a different time. Not like the people today that couldn’t be inconvenienced to miss their morning Starbucks let alone fight a war.
@@bobby886 - Reading Is Fundamental. Conscientious Objectors WERE forced. There were other people that were volunteers. Don't be stupid and conflate the two groups.
The Peace Movement in the US a hundred years ago was bigger than the glittery, drug-fueled one in the 60s, and it spanned multiple generations.
Read a book.
@@rogermail7060 - Did you read the book or even see the movie? They threatened prison.
Hero’s don’t always wear capes nor do they always carry weapons. This story shows what commitment to faith can do.
If they left in the real stuff Doss did then the movie would have been unbelievable. He was truly watched by God.
You know your a badass when you get a real life nerf, because like you said it would be unbelievable
@@rileyjudge4622 right, in the movie the ten commandments they left in Moses parting the red sea. But Doss saving lives through hell fire is unbelievable.
I still get choked up with the last scene seeing those men come to faith by his example. 😢
I still remember, when he pray "Please God, help me to save one more". I don't know if that is a right line, but the way he say it, truely same with the real person Doss said it.
Doss had God on his side. ❤
To have such a profound affect on people all these years later speaks very loudly of this incredible man and his Faith.
The world needs more men like Doss.
Not a coward but a true hero.
Thank you, Cpl Doss, and all those who have served and are still serving.
May God Bless you all with safe returns.
They actually downplayed what this MAN did because they didn't think the audience would believe it. Stop the discussion that men and women are the same. We are supposed to PROTECT THEM like Desmond Doss did.
The irony of men "protecting" women from MEN. Like the fox guarding the hen house.
Andrew Garfield made me cry about 20 times during this movie. Hes such a great actor and this is a great movie
movie name?
@@airsoft_u_srcu Hacksaw Ridge
I’m sure the movie didn’t and cover the whole story but I love that they thought he was a coward because he didn’t want to kill anyone. Then found out he was brave because he wanted to save people even the Japanese soldier in the cave. I’m talking about only the movie here
Hacksaw Bridge was the Greatest Movie I've ever watched and nothing will ever change this❤
This is a real movie and a real guy and did these things. Doss was a devout christian Is great movie great man
Being a hero isn't having no fear. It is acting in spite of that fear. No one knows how you will respond when there is an emergency. It is pure instinct. There have been plenty of times in my life where people who you never thought would falter have turned and ran. And those you don't consider save the day.
Hacksaw Ridge and Unbreakable are great war movies and they are factual. Greatest 🙏 🎉
Unbreakable is an incredible story - loved the book but felt like the movie was pretty bad
The movie is called unbroken, not unbreakable.
The movie is Amazing!!! It’s a must watch. Apparently, real person this movie is based on was even more incredible.
Not very many people noticed in this scene, but before Dawes jumped off to finally save himself, he made sure Smithy’s was with him. He wasn’t gonna leave Smithy behind up there. Smithy dies on day 2 right before the rest of Dawes Platoon/Battalion were pushed off the ridge. Dawes wasn’t gonna leave his friend behind. If you notice in the shot, you see Dawes and another body, that was smithy. Many folks miss that detail.
At least get his name right. Show the hero some respect rather than posting for your own ego Mr Knowitall.
No, I'm not helping you get his name correct, show him some respect by at least making the effort.
Doss was following the will of God, and as such was blessed to fulfill his purpose of savibg the lives he did. THAT is by definition, miraculous.
In the beginning they were not taking him to the battle, in the end they weren't going to battle wothout him.❤
This dude Desmond Doss Deserves WAY MORE CREDIT for he did for his Squad!!! You gotta name something after the guy!!! my God that's the most incredible thing I've ever seen or heard of!!!Shout out to Desmond Doss RIH I'm praying for paradise for you brother🙏🏿he was WAYYYY beyond HERO😢!!!
He was probably the most heroic man without a gun in history!
Calling someone a coward who has the balls to go into combat without a weapon. Only in America.
RIP Doss a true Legend and Hero 🫡🙏🕊❤️
I read about him, Mel Gibson didn't exaggerate Doss' heroism.
He could've included more.
This is becoming one of my favorite movies! Up there with Shawshank. I respect and honor Mr. Doss, the actual hero!!!❤
War makes hero's out of people. This guy is a true hero.
Thank you Mr. Doss! You served your country well and made all America proud! I am sorry we have let this once great country that you risked so much and fought so hard for, be dragged so dark down in such a short time!
Medics have to be the bravest men alive. They risk their lives, unarmed, to save the lives of the wounded. Doss may be a little better than some but they all deserve the greatest respect.
i have great respect for medics anyway
Medics can be armed. It’s just that once they start using it, they lose their Geneva Convention protection.
A real hero without weapons.Desmod Doss a example of Kindness and courage
he saved 75 wounded soldiers and he carried more than that im pretty sure its been alittle bit since i've watched anything about him he was definitely a one of kind hero. he past in the early 2000s i think in september not sure if im messing the truth up alittle if i am then im sorry for telling yall wrong
Desmond Thomas Doss:
Born February 7th, 1919.
Death March 23rd, 2006.
Buried April 3rd, 2006 Chattanooga National Cemetery, Tennessee
Army Combat Medic with the rank of Corporal.
Corporal Doss was a Conscientious Objector who by their religious beliefs would not carry a firearm.
His length of service was from the years 1942-1946.
He was awarded a Medal of Honor, 2 Bronze Stars; one for Guam and one for the Philippines; and 3 Purple Hearts
@@darkraisprodigy3696 yes exactly and was born in Lynchburg VA. Same town his brother and his Father(World War 1) who's best friends are buried. As are his brother and parents.
Also Rescued Japanese Trops During that Time..
They actually decided to leave out much of what Corporal Desmond Doss did because they thought people wouldn't believe it was a true story. He achieved many more fantastical feats than what they include in the movie. The man was an absolute hero and barely survived to save wounded soldiers on the battlefield. A real legend.
The guy in the tent won't have called him a coward.... Doss already had two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart for actions in Guam and The Philippines....I know they had to put that in there because of all the Audience saw was Basic training and this Battle....
I hated that line in the movie. The coward, it should not have been in the movie at all. Then he tried to praise him. It actually made me mad.
What did he sell at his auction?
@mikegreene8461 Thanks, English Major ...
@@arthurprice4460 "would not have called him"
Never ever judge a man by your own standards. You don't know who he is . I am such a man . Always underestimated .. it's because I don't want your praise
I have saved many lives. Faught impossible foes , but God gave me my one request, anonymity. I don't want your praise. I just want to be a good man..I fully respect this man . God bless all mortal angels..
My favorite part of this movie is that they had to leave out a ton of what he did since people would say it’s fake and just a movie, that’s how awesome Desmond Doss was in real life.
Doss was the epitome of bravery. What he did for his buddies is almost unbelievable.hell of a soldier......
This film deserved more awards. Andrew Garfield and the entire cast were brilliant. Great directing by Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson directed this? Damn.
@@Dan016Though because of his personal demons, Gibson has all but ruined his opportunities to act in anything that doesn't basically go straight to video, or streaming services, but Hacksaw Ridge proved that in spite of the fact quality acting roles for Gibson are now few and far between, the man can certainly still direct. He has one hell of a cinematic resume when it comes to his abilities behind the camera; no doubt about it.
Im no Christian, but both scenes of him going "please god, let me save one more" had me crying dude. Like actual tears streaming down my face. Thought i was done and then they put the real doss recalling the story. This movie was GOOD.
Just because a person doesn't want to fight; Doesn't mean they're a coward.
Crazy to have no weapon but far from being a coward
My Dad was a medic in WWII in France mostly. The only weapon he carried was his M3 Trench Knife. 2 Purple Hearts and 2 Bronze Stars. He told me I went to save lives, not take them. Plus his Mother’s family were all from Germany.

Their are so many amazing stories of courage , brotherhood and selflessness of our veterans. Most American citizens don't know and don't care. Some of our heroes never even told their families. They say Im no hero. I just did what anyone would do. Read or watch Unbreakable. Its incredible.
Andrew Garfield deserved the OSCAR for impersonating D. Doss ... a shame he didn't receive it
The Soldier who went to war without using a Gun , but only Resilience to Save❤🎉😮
No man could do what he did. The lord was truly working through him. God was listening
Man, this story is just wild! 💥 It's crazy how Doss showed so much courage without even carrying a weapon. It really makes you think about what being a hero truly means. And for real, I love how movies like this remind us of real-life legends. What a legend! 🙌
THAT’s The Power Of our King Jesus!!! This is AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!! 🇺🇸 Hoooraaaaaah

There was a Hingarian, also a Jew, who survived a Holocaust camp. He joined the US Army and was sent to Korea. He saw action that he was reccommended being awarded a Medal of Honor. He later was captured with many of his unit and placed in horrible prison camp conditions. His Nazi concentration camp experienced helped him save many lived with care. He also stole food he isef tp geed his fellow soldiers. They offerred himfreedom after catching his stealing when the discovered he was Himgarian born. He refused. He was released with the prisonet exchanges. He went to the USA, married and raised a family. Years later he attended a reunion. Those there were happy he was alive. They acted to get his previous Medal of Honor reccommendations reconsidered.
President George W Bush presentefd him with the awsrd. He passed away in 2015.
Just a friendly suggestion... I highly recommend that you proofread your comments before you post them, or at least proofread them afterwards and then edit to make corrections. It seems that you have good things to say, and express them well, but the typos & "auto-correct" mistakes (more like "auto-INcorrect 😜) really take away a lot from what you're saying and make some of it not understandable.
They actually had to downplay his achievements so they'd be more believable to the audience.
A very principled and faithful young man.
He was a menber of 77th Infantry Division nicknamed " the Old Bastards" because they where older than the others soldier, but they was a bunch of absolute beasts, literally destroyed every enemy they faced, they where so brave that Us Marines started calling them "marines" and treated them as real Marines
❤😢 may they find grace
What makes it even more amazing is that this is based off of a true story, and the director left out much of what doss did, believing that the miracles doss did would not be believed to he real by the viewers
Ive watched this movie about 3-4 times now and it gets better every time
This movie brought tears to my eyes. That man's dedication to his fellow man was exponential. It was a testimony to what selflessness truly looks like. If more people were like him I think the world would be an amazing place.
Thank u and god bless every soldier that needed to be told but still hasn’t but lives in the hearts of his or her brothers and sisters of arms
Doss was the definition of Hero period. The film only shows part of it but he was courageous before combat for sticking to his principles. MOH without firing a shot. Respect. RIP Corporal Doss.
The Foolish Warmongers Thought He Was A Coward Because He Chose GOD'S Way And Stuck By It 😇🙏😇🙏🏿
Hacksaw Ridge is one of the greatest war movies ever made. I only wish that Desmond Doss was still alive to see it.
Im not a very religious man, but i believe if there is a God, He guided Doss through hell to bring him and his fellow soldiers home.
Any man willing to go into combat with no weapon because he only wants to save lives, is no fucking coward. Man’s a legendary hero.
I do not normally like war movies
But this was brilliant. Love from Australia 🇦🇺
And it's based on a true story...I watch an Aussie Rockit Kit...fishing guy! Awesome dude!! As an American I Love you Aussies! I hate the world is going DEI commie!...
Crazy how "Hacksaw Ridge" is now in the middle of a city! Granted it's a park now, and it doesn't look anything like an apocalyptic hell scape that it was! But there are still reference points. It boggles the mind how much Battlefields can change. Hacksaw in less than 50 years and then you have "Bunker Hill", Boston, MA, which is pretty much in the middle of the City with no reference points in how that battle happened because of all the buildings covering everything up! Why I like Gettysburg National Military Park....
I think this was the act that won him the Medal of Honor. Brave man! Never fired a shot. Gotta keep the Corpsman alive.
Based on a true story great film
When your life story is told in cinema you were a hero. When the movie has to cut out some of your true documented story to make it believable you’re a legend. Doss was a legend amongst legends.
Some people would rather save lives then take lives that's the difference when you're raised through parents with Christ
Desmond Doss was one of the most courageous men in WWII. Yeah he refused to carry a weapon but saved so so many lives while injured.
Truly beautiful when a man humbles himself too the Lord , For He can do all things through Him who gives him strength......Amen....
Cpl. Desmond Doss was very much a real man and everything happened as depicted at Hacksaw Ridge. We should all be so lucky to have a doc as committed as Corporal Doss was.
What a great human being, great film too.
Thanks ❤❤
Which is the name of the film.
@@jmco1101 Hacksaw Ridge
Desmond Doss is where the term "BEAST MODE" was first,ever used.... God Bless his service.
Best war movie I ever watched and I have seen them all
He was a conscientious objector who actually volunteered to sign up for the army! How crazy is that. The army put him through hell in training but stuck at it & went to war, steadfast in his principles.
After he saved a solider and hoisted them down the ridge, he would say to God "just one more" then go look for more qwounded, even germans, which shows what a truly compassionate man he was, a real hero who stuck to his principles & beliefs of not touching a gun but was able to save an incredible 75 men.
