Desmond Doss was a U.S. Army medic in World War II — but he refused to carry a weapon.
Despite being mocked, beaten, and nearly discharged, Doss stuck to his beliefs. On Hacksaw Ridge in Okinawa, he did the unthinkable: he rescued 75 wounded soldiers under heavy fire — without firing a single shot.
Doss became the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor, and his story remains one of the most powerful acts of courage in military history.
