@Kaiserbalvin7 yeh god really protected the millions of people killed in both world wars and anyone else killed in recent wars...

Hopefully people are realizing that this man was Seventh Day Adventist. Because that was true miracle-workin' right there..

He dragged about 75 injured/dead soldiers across the plateau under heavy fire and lowered them with a rope to safety. He refused to leave them behind. A Japanese soldier reported that he had him in his sights the whole time but every time he tried to shoot him, his gun would jam up. He was really under God's protection. Mr. Doss was a very devout man and he is a national treasure, a gem of a human being. I only hope my existence serves to benefit others nearly to the same degree his did.

he also was brave when he helped a man who wwas hit by a Japanese sniper . the Japanese that shot the soldier was hidden right in front of Doss while Doss was caring for the wounded soldier! The sniper could have shot Doss but God didnt let him. God always protects us!

what really counts is that he was an adventist ,im an adventist also . He really put his trust in God. I dont know what i would do if i was in the war.i would b tempted to touch a gunan kill someone so i could just b safe. I do admire how he survived in the war , but what i mostly admire his faith in GOD

He served his country rather than running away, that is what counts. I admire people like him.
My father would tell his story after returning from war2. But so few remembered him afterwards. I had the extreme honor to have met him shortly before his death. I have been at war myself (Vietnam) and saw action and the life and death of brave men. Doss in my opinion is perhaps the braviest soldier that has lived in my time. May we all learn the honor he showed with his life. He is what a true hero should be.
