      @HELMUT ALTO there is no denial nasty things happens in war.
      There are criminals and sinners amongs all of us.
      However the message of solidarity should not be overshadowed by the sins of others.
      The work that these medics did should not be forgotten.
      The actions, and respect (which no longer exist in todays socaiety) of the soldiers from both sides did. Should never be forgotten.
      At any moment. These medics could have been killed. But they chose not to.
      Let us at least be able to honor that.

I NEVER ASKED HIM ANYTHING ABOUT IT ANYMORE BECAUSE I COULD TELL HE DIDN'T LIKE TALKING ABOUT IT AND THAT IT BOTHERED HIM.

    I love how the church still stands today. A place once a sanctuary of refuge from chaos in carnage now surrounded by peaceful land once more. The blood of the wounded now nothing but stains in the relics. A building that now sits quiet and empty only to be visited by future generations. It’s original heroic inhabitants physically lost in the sands of time, but never their names nor their actions for they will always be remembered and cherished.

    These two understood the value of lives. They may be the enemy, but what makes you any different from them? You're both wearing uniforms, being told what to do, and fighting desperately for something you want to protect. But by the end of the day, no matter which side you're on, you all have families, parents, and loved ones waiting for you to return. These two understood that very well and knew the pain of knowing what it's like if the person you care about doesn't come back. We're all human afterall.

      You can create a soldier so strong that he can fight an army by himself, but who takes care of this venerable soldier when he inevitably gets injured enough he cannot fight, the Medics are the strongest not in strength or physical stature, but by their sheer willpower and the determination to save whoever and whatever they can, even going as far as to literally carry a wounded soldier back themselves.

      Ignore these guys, they need to get over themselves.
      Hacksaw was done because while about a medic (who was *deeply religous* you two), said medic was in a lot of action.
      This story doesn't have enough action to be a movie, but an HBO mini-series might be suited, especially as while there's little action going on there's plenty of time passing, so making a show of it would do the story more justice.

      @@cptTK421 Hacksaw was a true story and it is considered a modern war movie masterpiece. But there is plenty of space for a movie around this story. Just like Titanic. The only fact was the sinking and a few details. Ford vs Ferrari also has a similar situation. Creative licence, training and combat situations can be developed.
