DESMOND DOSS THE HERO OK HACKSAW RIDGE

Desmond Doss made a name for himself – by saving lives. He refused to bear arms or carry a weapon – in the midst of constant enemy fire. He was unwilling to take a life or even so much as touch a weapon. He did however say that he would be proud to serve his country as a medic if they would let him. He was the conscientious objector who chose to fight – fight in a way that would help people. He had the wild idea that he could serve his country at war and also obey the command: “Thou shalt not kill.”
