An absolute unit of a patriot and a true warrior. Not all soldiers shoot, a lesson we today would be wise to learn.

There is a book that is a biography about Desmond Doss called The Unlikeliest Hero. His medal of honor citation notes he carried 75 wounded to safety, but unofficial reports showed that number could have been as high as 140. Absolutely a miracle what God did through Desmond. My family was lucky enough to meet him in the 60s, and he was the nicest guy you'd ever want to meet.

How in the world have I never heard of Desmond Doss until now?? This is one of the most compelling stories I've ever heard. It's really sad to know that a lot of stories like Doss's have never gained as much recognition as they deserve. I remember in School that any sort of WWII history was brief and consolidated and never really explored in depth. I would have really appreciated learning about MORE men like Desmond Doss who fought in the World Wars. What an absolute legend.

The ferocity of the IJA and IJN was astounding. Absolutely fanatical troops.

Every time I watch something like this I get chills. It’s incredible what the men and women went through in WW2. As an American, I got that feeling when I watched Dunkirk. One of the last scenes when all of the civilian boats appear over the horizon to get their soldiers out. The soldiers were brave to try to liberate the French, and the British people supporting their troops to get them home on defenseless boats was incredible.

I love your reactions over other reaction videos, because you actually stop and talk about your philosophy instead of occasionally making a face or something.

That one war has probably 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of stories like this, and it’s so fucking crazy to think about.

Hacksaw Ridge is one of the best and most realistic war films ever made. It's great and anyone who hasn't seen it needs to watch it immediately.

i had watched the documentary about Desmond Doss in 2008, and was so happy that they finely made a movie about him. thank you for covering this. i enjoyed your reactions very much. i like most all of the react videos you do (especially the MrBallen reacts... which it is through watching MrBallen, that i found your channel) ... this was by far my VERY favorite react video i have seen on youtube, across the board, to date... Doss should be a case study for EVERY American school child or in any country for that matter. he truly fought for both mankind, and for his beliefs. i hope you feel much better soon! love to you and your family. and my heart and prayers will be with you.

The fact that he did that climb multiple times with balls so huge is already quite accomplishment on itself, not to mention the saving so many. They coulnd't even possibly put all the heroic deeds in the movie , because it would have to be at least 12h long movie, he wasn't just a hero, he's a super-hero🙂

It's not often war stories put tears of happiness in my eyes.

The whole story was even crazier than what you have seen in that video and in the Movie. The makers of Hacksaw Ridge said, that many things the veterans and relatives told them sounded so crazy that they did not use them because no one would have believed it on screen. others were used but drastically downgraded to be believable. For example, in the movie, when Doss was wounded, he noticed the missing bible very soon and a comerade went out to find it. In reality he noticed, when he was halfway to the field hospital. there the staff promised to radio his company about it. as soon as his comerades heared that, the whole battalion went on the search for it.

This man went above and beyond the call of duty for his comrades.

Can you even imagine how long the soldiers had to be there. They were there for months and just imagine how long it take a month to pass by. That must have been truly petrifying.

Yeah if you saw Hacksaw RIdge they show the real Desmond Doss at the end. He was a warrior. Wonderful story, brutal battle. Good review! Hope you feel better!

If you're really curious about Mr. Doss there is a book called "The Hero of Hacksaw Ridge" that adds more about the battles, his personal life, and his faith. It Is Written also has videos about him.

Hey Luke. The book about him is called The Unlikeliest Hero: The Story of PFC Desmond T Doss The Soldier Who Wouldn't touch a gun. The video documentary made about him is called The Conscientious Objector. I am Adventist as well and while i do believe that killing to protect some else or yourself i do agree with the reasons he had for it. I do eat meat but i avoid the unclean meats as a health choice. The thing they didn't mention about the sniper story is that there was a second Japanese sniper that came walking up to him after his medal ceremony and asked if he was Desmond Doss and he said yes. The man told him that he became a Christian because of Desmond. He tried pulling the trigger several times on Desmond but each time his finger touched the metal he could not pull the trigger whenever he was aiming at Desmond. He had killed a bunch of other Americans but not Desmond. Also when Desmond saw the injured man after he had broken his arm he was asking the guys to take the other man but they wouldn't so he rolled himself off of it and crawled his way over to help him. Fun fact. That battle where they took the ridge, that battle was on Saturday (Sabbath) and he prayed for his unit for 10 minutes after the battle was supposed to start. Nobody in his unit would go up till after he was done praying for them.

This has to be one of the best WWII Medals of Honor: getting through all that unarmed and saving the lives of so many comrades just leaves me speechless! And I don't know why Hacksaw Ridge is so underrated... And you, Luke, take care and good luck with the test results!

The strength of God was surely with him. It's so inspiring to hear stories like this, and knowing what he had to go through both in training and in battle in order to do what he knew was right. God bless him, and all the American soldiers.

It's said that when everything was over with, the commander overlooking Doss said that ha had saved over 100 men and was dumbfounded. Doss insisted that he saved no more than 50 men, and so for his Medal of Honor, they compromised on the number of 75. Or so the legend tells.

This one is personal for me, as Doss's first combat deployment was on Guam, my grandad was on the 3rd wave of Guam as a Seabee to take down the obstacles and support the infantry.

Might have been said but I remember hearing that when they made the movie the director toned down his heroics because he didn't think the movie audience would believe what he did.

M1 is a fun weapon to fire, very accurate. If you are travelling the USA, you should be able to rent one, if you find a range that loans out weapons. Side note, 82 MOH recipients have been medics/corpsmen or other medical personnel.

A British officer who served in the Boer War, First World War, and Second World War. He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear; was blinded in his left eye; survived two plane crashes; tunnelled out of a prisoner-of-war camp; and tore off his own fingers when a doctor declined to amputate them.

He's a great role model for sticking to what you believe when it isn't that popular! And the Sabbath starts from Friday at Sun down and ends Saturday at Sun down! 10 comandments and not 9 with one of the 10 split in two to cover the one removed.

Desmond Dos...his story every time I tell it to someone regardless of if they know it or not, regardless of if we're speaking face to face, in video/voice chat I get so animated, my voice rises and breaks...I get so passionate about it that it's obvious to people even in text. The reason for this is because of a memory I have of asking my grandfather on my dad's side about war as he served in ww2, I was four and that day was the only time I ever saw the man cry...I wish I had known about Desmond back then...his story would have given my grandfather some peace of mind to know that one man did what should have been impossible. Btw I live in New Zealand.

You should come to South Dakota, we have Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is beginning of August and can be wicked exciting ( or something to avoid, lol).

Desmond Doss was man who commanded the respect of his peers both in his service and in life throughout he was an example of what every man should strive to be honorable, faithful, and true to his own beliefs dam the consequences

Crazy fact about the battle of guam... 1 japanese soldier named yokoi didnt leave. He went into hidding during the battle and i think it was 30+ years later my friends dad went hunt and found this guy living in a cave. When yokoi was taken into custody he said he thought the war was still going on. He was released to the japanese government and forget what happened to him after that...you can actully take hike and see the cave where this soldier stayed

1:23 that timing was incredible

Pretty sure I've seen a few M1 carbines at Maine Military Supply in Holden. They have an Indoor shooting range and even have some fully automatics that you can shoot on their range. Holden is about 2 hours from Portland.

Ww2 was known as the Greatest Generation because a lot of men volunteered, there wasn't a draft until the last 2 years of the war

I was in the 1st infantry division in Vietnam and we had several medics who were unarmed for moral reasons.

14:45 My great great grandfather was at Leyte, and I have always wondered if he saw or saw Private Doss

The battle of leyte being mentioned reminded me of the story of Taffy 3 in the battle off Samar. If you haven't heard that story you should really check it out sometime.

There is a very old movie from the 1950s called To Hell and back about Audie Murphy the most decorated man in WWII. He actually stared as himself. It like Hacksaw Ridge actually left slot out because they didn't think people would believe it. You should check out either the movie or a biography of him.

You should watch the interviews with him,I think there on KZread,good vid mate.

I've been to the medical base he was brought to back in America. It's now a school for those who have difficulties with certain skills or actions.

My brother lived in guam for close to 10 years. He mostly camped out in a cave that had been used as a Japanese bunker. I met someone across the world who had known him there, and I got a lot of stories lol. Between that, and his time in the military, apparently, my brother is a bit of a legend

I use to teach the Law of War, the Geneva Conventions, and the UCMJ in the US Army. Part of the reason that we have these laws, rules, and regulations is that we know we are sending men and women into a depraved environment when we send them to war. But someday, they will have to reenter the civilian world. We do not want them to end up seeing themselves as monsters. What I would tell soldiers is that if you stay within these laws, treaties, rules, etc. then you will know that you were as humane as war allows. At the end of the day, the soldiers who stay inside the rules are able to live with what they did for the most part. Sending people to war is to leave them morally and spiritually injured. What we try to do is provide them with a way back.

Also really appreciate you putting out some vids even though you feel like crap.

This story is always inspiring.

this reminds me of another ww2 story it was on the history channel back in the day. a sergeant in the pacific was shot three times as he covered the retreat of his men and loaded the wounded onto the back of a tank. he stayed in the fight manning an MG. if i recall right he finally fell back with the rest of his men.

Violence begets violence. At least the Geneva Convention's rules of engagement were designed to minimise both casualties and the kind of treatment that might encourage a retaliatory war.

That is GREAT, amazing amazing.
