I'm here because a medic responded to the cries of MEDIC!!! I will never forget that. I was laying in mud, bleeding & scared. I heard the call go down the line, MEDIC!!! Then, the Medic came, and I can't tell you how much that calmed me down. He soon had me on a stretcher and evacuated me to the nearest aid station where I was later medivaced by helicopter to an Army hospital. God bless the Medics!

One of my neighbors and best friend was a man named Russell Dunham a 3rd division infantry sergeant from North Africa to Berlin. He got his Medal of Honor for action in France. Russ and Des became great friends in the Medal of Honor Society. 1961 Russ and Audie Murphy examined all 300 holders of the CMH still surviving from all the wars from Spanish American to 1961 and made a report to the society that they felt Desmond Doss deserved to be the Society's representative to the President on the 100th anniversary of the Medal of Honor. Someone said "Audie, you got the most medals you just take it." Murphy's reply was "I'm proud of my accomplishments but me and Russ we recommend our buddy Desmond." Russ always said "they gave him the Medal of Honor because they did not have anything bigger to give him; if they did have something bigger he would have got that Medal." When Doss died in about '06 Russ had a hard time with the loss of his friend. My buddy passed in '09.

I think one of my favorite scenes from this movie is when Doss is hanging off the cliff, fully exposed, and every man left in his unit is covering him from the ground.

People like him are rare.

Really great shot at 6:10. Doss in front of the church holding his bible while the captain stands in front of the military tents holding his rifle, both sides split up by one column. It shows two man from two different beliefs who are stuck in the same situation coming together. The captain realizing that the power of God is equally important as the power of military equipment

Desmond Doss defined courage and heroism. He served with the purpose of saving lives instead of taking lives. He saved the lives of 75 fellow soldiers all without having any weapon. That's the true definition of heroism.

One of the greatest feats in human history...and the fact they took out some parts of his story because directors knew the viewers wouldn't take it as a real event also says a lot

They don't believe the same way you do. But they believe in how much YOU believe. And they're not going up there without you. 😭❤️‍🔥

Desmond Doss was and will forever remain one of my, if not my all time hero...a true believer in his faith and when he asked, God delivered....I'm humbled by his bravery, his upstanding & upholding of his beliefs even though he was mocked, ridiculed and outcast....you only need refer to so many bible passages to see just how much of an amazing man he was. Most have never even heard of him, many nowadays even portray their heroes based on minimal actions but heroism comes in many forms, big and small. But Desmond Doss was empowered by his belief in God and God gave him the strength to carry out one of the most bravest acts of valor ever. Incredible brave young man....now sitting firmly by God's side, finally home xxx

Well said and even after he gave God the glory with humility and bravery R.I.P. Mr. Doss

Reminder that Desmond Doss was such a devout, brave and caring man, that his true actions and bravery had to be toned down for this movie, genuinely He was such a living saint and miracle that those in the studio believed an honest recounting would be viewed with skepticism, for how could one man survive through and do so so much, they didn’t believe he would be seen as human Well he was, and he was even greater than portrayed That is the power of faith, and kindness, and sheer will That was the real Desmond Doss.

He may say he's not wounded but he was. The wounds you take to your brain, soul, and emotions are the worst kinds of wounds. Unlike a physical wound, mental ones do not scar. They just remain a constant.

Ran head first into Hell, looked the devil in the eye and said you can not have them.

To those who don't lnow, The story of Desmond is even more insane than the film, they had to dumb down the events because what he actually did was even more INSANE

If we had 1% of the bravery, determination, and faith that Desmond Doss had on Hacksaw Ridge think what this world could be like. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

John 15 ( 9-17)

absolute best part of the movie and shows who Doss was . God bless

Doss was the embodiment of " The Lord's work must be done. " Also, to the sergeant that apparently was indeed like that? You gotta imagine this. He was on a LARGE dose of morphine, being dragged roughly over incredibly bumpy terrain as fast Doss could manage and he is landing the shots that would save Doss from being hit, or to keep Japanese soldiers in cover to prevent them from popping out and hitting Doss. This feat is even more inspiring when you realize Doss's diet was so poor in the military because they didn't have a bunch of rations that had food he could eat. He looked like a malnourished skeleton of a man during this battle... and saved all of those lives, even returning a few bodies despite not needing to do so. Bodies of people he didn't want eaten by rats and maggots. Men he considered friends. Doss is the epitome of a man. He wasn't a pacifist because he wanted to feel better. He wasn't a pacifist because " That's what the Bible says. " ( Nothing truly forbids Christians from taking up arms in defense of a home. Many times God had Christians fight in battles that should have been absolute losses and the Christians would overcome horrible odds. ) - Doss did it because he objected to violence as a principle, not for some attention, not because it satisfied his ego. He promised to the highest power he knew of, God... and he kept it. He kept his word to God and God in turn gave him his protection. Doss is more man than any of us ever will be. More of a faithful Christian than many of us could hope to be. If anybody made it to Heaven, it's Doss. I hope I get to see him there and shake his hand if I manage.

In real combat, I can't imagine the things people were capable of and I've heard some stories both good and bad but it's something combat soldiers understand.

The way those men looked at desmond coming down that hill was like watching Jesus return from the dead. Real heroes are born not made and desmond will truly be remembered as a real hero.

the avatar and spiderman crossover event we never knew we needed

With Doss's bravery and his commitment to serve his country, he boosted his entire soldiers' moral and made them felt like each one had the strength of 100 men each. He gave the men zero fear of death and the hope they'll go back home once the war is done.

I was looking for a war movie and thank you for showing it, I watched it yesterday

it takes humility and courage to admit being wrong and apologizing

Starting from an ordinary person who his group didn't even care about, he became a figure who was respected by his leaders and his story was even heard by everyone.

Cried like a baby during this scene. The clip should have included the Captain being requested to go to the medical tent to see all of the men Doss brought down to give the scene more perspective though.

The way those men looked at him in that medical tent is moving. People might say there are no men like that anymore. When you should consider, he seemed to be the only man like him there. They always exist. Faith or no faith. Cause or no cause. Belief or lack of it. They do exist. They are only rare because their chances of sacrifice are never always offered. There are no more of them then than there are now. Just less opportunities. We should be thankful for that.

That scream he makes while dragging his commander, that's when he hit 100% effort and kept giving more than he was ever asked to give. That's the mark of a great man

The most shocking part about this movie was, when you pause the movie in the middle to google if it was true (since so unbelievable) and you find out that the movie wasn't even close to how unbelievable it really was. On top of that, Mel Gibson (the director) admitted the story was too unbelievable to put on screen... For those who did not do research, he did similar things MULTIPLE times during the pacific theater... 😎

Doss didn't get a wink of sleep because he stayed up all night praying to god to save 1 more

I’ve gotta watch hacksaw ridge again, it’s so well done and the history it’s based on is just as great.

the amazing thing is they dialled Doss's actions down for the film as they felt the true heroics wouldn't be believed.
