GI Film Festival: The Conscientious Objector
Defense.gov
Aug. 2, 2012 | 4:18
It's 1945, World War II. The place: Okinawa. The scene: an impregnable 400-foot high cliff-AKA Hacksaw Ridge. The engagement: a battle so fierce the odds of survival were 1 in 10. The Act: Medic PFC Desmond T. Doss braved intense enemy fire to rescue 75 wounded GI's over the precipice. The story: Infantrymen who once ridiculed and scoffed at Desmond's simple faith and refusal to carry a weapon-now owed their lives to him.
