No doubt about it. That dude was one bad m***** f*****. I think ww2 citations are the most surreal thing to read, esp if you have ever been to Iwo Jima or Okinawa and tried to imagine yourself on those islands...

This is the story of a man who held a true belief in God and lived his life accordingly. He felt fear and was always in his right mind. He simply chose to honor God with his faith, honor his country with his service and honor his fellow man with his sacrifice. I watched the documentary about him. And while it is long and at times difficult to understand due to his hearing loss and poor subtitles, it is so well worth watching. I also thought when watching the trailer that I'd be damned if I'd pay to see this liberal, no guts, no gun wannabe movie. But now that I understand how far from that this great man was, I will go see it.

It makes me extremely sad that most Americans don't even know this man's name or what he did for his buddies, much less his life story, but could probably tell you Kim Kardashian's measurements.

Sickening isn't it.

That was my issue. I was never afraid of death and I am still not. Why I talk so calmly about the fact that I possibly have cancer now. People don't understand why I am not freaking out about it. I have GOD and Jesus in my life and my heart so I will never fear death.

And the Medic in this movie was a hero by all means.

I honestly don't fear death, either. Obviously for different reasons, but not fearing death isn't the same thing as not fearing at all. Death itself is no big deal, but the process of getting there can be scary as ****. Lot's of really bad ways to go. Or worse yet, not quite making it and being F'ed for life.

During the 12 hours, in which Doss rescued 75 American soldiers, retrieving them from where they had fallen, dragging them back from as far away as 125 yards, under fire, before lowering them down the cliff to the rest of the unit(yes, he was the ONLY uninjured man on the ridge), one Japanese soldier later reported that he had Doss in his sights on multiple occasions where he was silhouetted at the cliffs edge but that his gun jammed each time he tried to pull the trigger to shoot Doss.

And yes, 75 men rescued in 12 hours. An average of one man every 9.6 MINUTES (oops)for twelve hours straight.
