Outstanding documentary about the life of Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector in World War 11 who served in the military as a medic.
Due to his religious beliefs, he would never kill and hence would not even carry a gun.
Obviously, at the beginning he met with much scorn for his refusal to do so but he proved himself worthy of presidential recognition for coming to the aid of wounded soldiers. While under fire himself, he helped the wounded as best he could.
The documentary shows that those who wanted to get rid of him in the military would come to realize what a tremendous asset he was.
It was as if the Lord was on his side at all times during battle. This is really an outstanding story of human faith as well as the triumph of spirit.
