- On October 12, 1945, Cpl. Desmond Doss, a Seventh Day Adventist, became the first conscientious objector to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service as an unarmed medic in WWII. Charles Osgood reports.
They called him a "coward".
Little did they know, he was the bravest of them all, facing literal hellfire, UNARMED and saved almost 80 people in the process.
Absolutely incredible.
The man even his CO Sargent call him coward suddenly call him "Bravest man ever lives, and having endup saving my lives, is the irony of the whole thing"
@@HappiKarafuru I know, you'd think it'd be a myth! But no. A real-life superhero.
I knew several medics in Vietnam who got wounded saving soldiers. Never condemn them.
@@GentlemanJackabee God's chosen one
He swore never to take a life. Still served and lived his ideals in the perfect moment.
Our legend is gone but in history will never ends
Legend never die

Heroes don't die they reborn as legends
my great grandpa said he was saved by an american man when he was wounded in Okinawa.. maybe it was Doss..
That would be amazing if that was the case
apply cold water to burned area
Well then ur grandpa was lucky to have Doss at their team
How old is your grandpa now
Tan Phat hes dead now stupid.
What the movie gets wrong is that he won the respect of most of his soldiers when he completed his final hike with them in Basic. He took care of everyone else's feet before his own and had actually hiked with heavier gear than any rifle.
a man of God! a man in Heaven now with all the soldiers he saved in his life. also with his 1st love in life. such a great inspirational human being!
NO ONE IS IN HEAVEN .... THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST ..... JESUS SAYS WE ARE ASLEEP IN THE GROUND UNTIL HE RETURNS
Lord Jesus Christ will provide us in all times Amen 🙏
We've been proud of God. He is used by God.
He was maxed out stealth and medic skills.
He was maxed out on courage
He was maxes out all of category
He saved 75 sons
There are many great stories of courage and dedication - maybe none more powerful than the story of Desmond Doss.
I was also a CO. Went to Basic at Fort Sam Houston, then 10 weeks of Medic training. Less than a month later i was in Tay Ninh Viet Nam with 1st Calvary Medevac for fourteen months.
from one vet to another vet, thank you
Thank you for your service Doc.
Thank you, good sir. We appreciate you all most respect to you and all the other veterans.
I went to fort Sam as well for combat medic training.. one of the best (and at time worst) times of my life
Glad you made it back.
You can't even accomplish that in a video game. As soon as you see "RESCUE 75 MEN WITHOUT TAKING DAMAGE" achievement, you be like "I guess I'll never get that Platinum" 😂
Wait you forgot one thing... It can only be accomplished in one game *_*
doss's arm was broken to save those 75 men
HOALFX yeah and you get shot at like ten times and still not die in a video game lol
Gimme a bag of chip, a bottle of soda, and 10 keyboards and mice. And I'll get it done.
@@athalonARC you only got only got 1 life though
now this man i respect, and i am an army brat & am army widow. he stood up with his beliefs and still served his country. i have a big problem with people who just run and hide. there should always be a way for people to serve their country and still uphold their beliefs. there is honor in that, running away has no honor
That's right. I have noticed that the biggest anti-war loudmouths are also the biggest cowards.
For the most part they are
@@saffronsworld1508 or they just don't want to get shot...
i respect the guy too, he saved many people's lives and seemed like a very nice person. however i disagree on your point about people running away and hiding. there is absolutely nothing shameful in that. nobody owes anything to their country and if they'd prefer not contribute to war then they should be respected in doing so as well.
You should also respect peoples beliefs, even if that tells them not to serve...
The power of God thru this man.
Glory to God
there's no other way
There cannot be another way
There won’t ever be any another way
This man is my hero he saved a lot of people unarmed and lived now I am becoming a medic
There are really no words to describe this man this is amazing Brave man he did much more than the movie shows look him up and read about him believe me you will be totally amazed that the things that he did this man is a true hero I will never forget your name and what you did
Imagine if each of the men he saved had 3 children, and most of them had 3 kids, and so on. Lots of people are here today because of Cpl.Desmond Doss.
Preach!! God reward this man's faith and commitment and used him in a way that others would say was impossible. It's hard to deny that God had a hand in what happened with Doss. I even heard that for the movie based on his life, the director left some times out because he felt that people would find them too hard to believe. Wished he didn't do such, I'm eager to find out what those other things were.
Wow. That's a neat way to look at it. Are there records of the 75 men's names?
I am not a citizen but I am moved to loved the heroic act this man possessed. I am big fan (Demond doss) of the dead but he sure lives in my heart ❤️
I’ll watch hacksaw ridge over and over and never get tired of his heroism. From Nigeria 🇳🇬
Like my comment to remind me to appreciate private doss bravery ❤❤
Wow, proper pronunciation of "Seventh-day Adventist." I'm in shock. Happy shock. :)
This Man is A True Hero,
He risked his life more than once, Placed all his faith in God, Made extraordinary feats, He went in The War and Came out A Hero, And he lived a long and Happy Life.
Rest In Peace, Desmond, I bet you are enjoying some amazing Tea with Dorothy in Heaven.
🇺🇸
when you put all skill point on medic and stealth you'll get doss achievment
God is with you all the time!
I love my brother and look forward to seeing him at home
Gone but never forgotten!
RIP Private Doss!
And people laugh at religion? Look at this guy.
Yeah and then look at all the innocent kids born christian getting killed, starving, raped, sold, tortured...where is god then? Seemingly god just likes very very few people that help america win useless wars?
@@Cin9999 God works mysteriously, my friend. Everything has a reason. Even though it's a worst event
exception that proves the rule
People don't laugh. Maybe you do but people don't.
I respect SDAs and their convictions
I got to know through the movie "Haksaw ridge" he was a real hero
Of course he was.
Respect! A hero in every way.
I want to sleep but you tube recommend me to watch this Legend❤❤
This man had a big heart.❤️
I just rewatched "Hacksaw Ridge", and I know movies usually may add more adventure to make it interesting, but in this case, they left out things. How on earth can someone save 75 wounded men in the conditions he was in. Absolutely no one! Even if it's in a video game as someone pointed out "Save 75 wounded without taking any damage" is just ridiculous. But Doss did it. What a legend, a hero... Incredible that even in the middle of battle, he did his part and more, refusing to take a single life, but only to save life. If every man was like him, there would be absolutely no war.
Thankyou Doss ,God Bless You.
My utmost respect to this Real Life Hero and Legend RIP Desmond Doss
GOD BLESS YOU DOSS !!
One man's story that has the power can change perspectives on war for the whole world 💖
75 men at an average of 180lbs each... 13,500 lbs in one night, tell me he didn't have the holy power of God in him to accomplish this feat, amen and hallelujah 🙌🥰
That wasn’t in one night. The battle took several weeks
Adrenaline and God.
Setelah nonton hacksaw ak melihat sisi keyakinan desmond doss begitu sangat kuat,Desmond doss membuktikan bhwa keyakinanNya tetap teguh berpegang pada keyakinannya salam hormat pak desmond sy beri respek tertinggi untukmu
I love hack saw ridge I cried so much
Some of the the Docs in the “Med-Shed” on Okinawa said the number was 100
❤
Seventh-day Adventists around the world are proud of this man!
Lovely video. Many serve. A few object to arms. Hacksaw Ridge was excellent.
This man is more heroic than almost anyone I ever heard of.
he never break the 10 commandments on holy Bible special one 6 do shall not kill 😇
Thou*
My uncle was a conchy in the first war he was sent to prison had very bad time he was self educated he was brought up on the Scottish island he did volunteer for World War II , he walked across China with Elvis Switzer he wrote his official biography. He was married to my auntie they had two children.
Is a really nice man
Wow! I salute you sir for being a hero
What an amazingly story about this amazing American
Desmond Doss said himelf, in an "old" interview, he saved 60+ men. "Media, authors, the Army and OTHERS, wanted" to credit him with saving 100 men. They agreed on Doss saving 75 men. "I trust Desmond Doss's" words.
he wasn't a objector he IS a man of GOD
One of the greatest men to have ever lived.
A man of honor.
i proud of you sir
amen
Please remember Desmond, you are were the instrument, NOT the hand. well done lad.
The difference between a Genius and a lunatic is the success!
From Italy:
Has anyone proposed to raise this man to saint? Why didn't the pope notice him? Why doesn't it belong to the Catholic Church? Desmod Doss is the most valiant man of all time!
He was an Adventist like me.
Yep, adventist.
Catholics must stop worshipping IDOLS of any form including Jesus Christ, Mother MARY, 12 Disciples etc. It's against the Word of God. 1JOHN 5:21; 1 Corinthians 10:4,7; Isaiah 45:20; Jonah 2:8; Judges 10:14; Leviticus 19:4; Revelation 9:20; Galatians 5:19-21; Please read these verses.
Adventists and Catholics don’t really get along
We salute you Mr Desmond doss god bless with you always. May my Jesus bless you 💟
Wow! is all I can say.
October 12, 1945.
😢😢😢
Love ❤️ Dessmond doss.
He did not win the medal! He earn it!
i never knew who Desmoned Doss was until i watched the movie haksaw ridge
Who saves a life saves the world entire.
True hero
Respect 🇺🇸
The men of Desmond Doss’s Company that mistreated him should’ve been demoted and discharged from the Army. They broke many of the Army values, and don’t deserve his respect. Thank you for all you accomplished Desmond Doss!!!
Fragging in the form of gazing was common. Though in this case the fragging was non-lethal.
0:38 looked like cr7 for a second there
Mel Gibson said they had to leave some of the things he did out of the movie because audiences just wouldn't believe it
Hero
Grüße!
They don't make them like that anymore
He was not the first objector to earn the Medal of Honor. SGT. Alvin C. York earned one in WW1.
Ivan Mills pretty sure he killed 25 people the day he lead a attack basically doing what he was supposed to Don’t think he counts as one since he did something he didn’t want to do but did it either which way
@@ulyssesguidi9960 I know he did his job, however, he was an objector. He opposed the war and killing. He later stated he did it to save lives. Of course Maxim designed and built the Maxim machine gun for the same reason. Thinking the mass casualties would deter war. We now know it merely killed millions.
what a hero
75 people!!! What?!
You forgot about Sgt. York!
What he had holds way more power than any weapon
F11 He have god mode hack!!
Desmond is a true hero, despite what horrible Ant Middleton says.
0:15
Nice
45 not 420 tho unfortunately
They mean 69.
Desmond Doss kinda looks like Chandler from MrBeast
Sometimes men become more than just a man !
SimonPeter bowed and waved him through and Micheal lay down his sword when Desmond Doss got to the Pearly Gates and shook hands with The Lord.
Wars aren't won by people who grant double standards.
DESMOND DOSS
WAS A MEDIC WHO FAUGHT WITHOUT A WEAPON HE WAS A CHRISTIAN BUT AS HE SAVED HIS FELLOW MEN HE KEPT SAYING GOD PLEASE ONE MORE AS HE GOES BACK FINDING MORE WOUNDED MEN
Cool he has no gun but she survive true hero
Why not make sure that you are truly saved by Jesus Christ and practice this way. Remorsefully confess with your heart your sins to Jesus Christ who is God and tell Him that you right now are repenting of your sins and you want to be born again of the Spirit from above. Tell Jesus that you are remorsefully sorry for breaking His commandments and that you are begging for forgiveness from Him. Allow His blood from the cross to wash away your sins. After this is done with your heart successfully the Holy Spirit will come to live within you and He will rebuild you from the inside out.
Look for signs that you are saved. Things like spreading the good news from Jesus, getting other people saved, a craving for the word of God, reading the Bible, etc… These things are known as a calling and fruit bearing. If you're not bearing fruit then keep doing it. Sometimes it takes time to get saved. Read Matthew chapter 13 from the King James Bible. God bless!!!
How can we imagine what they went through. Ukraine are now going through the same.Women ,men children ,being oppressed. The Ukrainian people have shown they are all Desmonds Doss.
من اجمد لافلام الي سمعتها وللهي
Respect from Kosovo.
When will they realise that going to war pronto is pointless. Next war mentioned I want sudden PAUSE. I want the privates to drop their combat clothes and put on suits whilst the politicians slip into the privates former uniforms. Guns in hand I want the leaders to resume the charge.
Think they’ll go for it?
Balls
Dude this guy looks like hes 130 lbs soaking wet...how he did this...ill never know
An American story
Can you imagine the snowflakes of today doing that
You don’t win the medal of honour
Hero
