The Soldier Who Saved 75 Lives Without Firing a Shot | Desmond Doss Hacksaw Ridge

75 lives. One night. Zero bullets fired. May 5, 1945, Okinawa: American forces assault a 400-foot escarpment soldiers call Hacksaw Ridge. After hours of brutal combat, the order comes to retreat. Everyone falls back except one man—medic Desmond Doss who refuses to leave wounded Americans up there. For 12 hours he stays alone on Hacksaw Ridge under constant Japanese fire, dragging wounded to the cliff edge, lowering them down on rope one at a time while praying: "Please Lord, help me get one more." By dawn he's saved 75 men, becoming the only conscientious objector in American history to receive the Medal of Honor. ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 - 75 Lives, Zero Shots 01:44 - Desmond Doss 1919 04:20 - Adventist Faith & Pacifism 06:45 - Drafted 1942 09:15 - Basic Training Hell 12:10 - Nearly Court-Martialed 14:40 - Proving Himself: Guam 1944 17:05 - Okinawa April 1945 19:30 - Hacksaw Ridge 22:15 - May 5: Everyone Retreats, Doss Stays 24:40 - 12 Hours Alone: "One More" 27:20 - 75 Lives Saved 29:15 - Medal of Honor 30:10 - What Will You Accomplish? 🎖️ THE FACTS: • Born: February 7, 1919, Lynchburg, Virginia • Religion: Seventh-day Adventist (pacifist) • Drafted: April 1942, refused to carry weapon • Role: Combat medic, 77th Infantry Division • Guam: July 1944, proved himself under fire • Hacksaw Ridge: May 5-6, 1945, Okinawa • Saved: 75 soldiers in 12 hours alone • Method: Lowered down 400-foot cliff on rope • Prayer: "Please Lord, one more" (75 times) • Medal of Honor: October 12, 1945 • Unique: ONLY conscientious objector Medal of Honor • Death: March 23, 2006, age 87 🙏 THE FAITH: Seventh-day Adventist, believed literally "Thou shalt not kill." Wanted to serve in WW2 but without killing. Volunteered as combat medic to save lives instead. This made him hated in basic training. Fellow soldiers beat him. Officers tried to discharge him, then court-martial him. Desmond held firm: would serve, would face danger, wouldn't kill. ⚔️ HACKSAW RIDGE: Maeda Escarpment—"Hacksaw Ridge"—400-foot cliff held by Japanese. Americans climbed cargo nets up sheer face under fire. May 5: massive casualties, Japanese counterattack. Order: retreat. Everyone climbs down. Except Desmond. He saw wounded who couldn't move. If he left, they died. So he stayed alone, surrounded by enemy. 💚 12 HOURS, 75 LIVES: Afternoon May 5 through dawn May 6: Desmond alone on ridge. Crawled through combat zone finding wounded, treated them, dragged to cliff edge. Then lowered each man 400 feet by hand on rope. 75 men. That's 60,000+ feet rope movement (11+ miles). Under Japanese fire. Praying each time: "Please Lord, help me get one more." Miraculously survived. 🎖️ "PLEASE LORD, ONE MORE": Every time Desmond lowered a man, he prayed this. When that man reached bottom, he went back. "One more, Lord." Ten men, twenty, thirty... "one more." By dawn: 75 saved. One prayer, 75 times. This became his legend. 🏥 MEDAL OF HONOR: October 12, 1945: President Truman presents Medal of Honor. Truman said he'd rather have this medal than be president. Desmond said he just did his duty. First and only conscientious objector Medal of Honor recipient. 💔 POST-WAR: Wounded May 21, 1945 (grenade, sniper). Lost lung and ribs to tuberculosis. Lost hearing. Disabled by 40. Never complained. Lived quietly in Georgia. Attended church. Raised son. Refused movie deals until Mel Gibson convinced him 2016 film would respect his faith. 🎬 FILM (2016): "Hacksaw Ridge" directed Mel Gibson. Consulted with Desmond before death. Remarkably accurate. Showed Okinawa brutality graphically—making Desmond's pacifism more impressive. Introduced millions to his story. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for warriors who succeeded differently. 👍 LIKE if moved 💬 COMMENT: What conviction will you hold? 🔗 SHARE with someone needing this 📺 MORE WW2 HEROES: • Mad Jack: Medieval Weapons • Simo Häyhä: 505 Kills • Charles Upham: Double VC • Leo Major: One Eye Freed City #DesmondDoss #HacksawRidge #MedalOfHonor #WW2 #Pacifist #Medic #75Lives #Faith #Okinawa #TrueStory --- Dedicated to Desmond Thomas Doss (1919-2006).
