New biographical movie about Medal of Honor recipient Desmond Doss. This is long overdue and I'm definitely going to watch it. Some of you may have seen me mention Desmond on the forums here before... I feel Desmond, a conscientious objector, is one of the greatest heroes this country has had. Mel Gibson received a 10 minute standing ovation for producing this film.
I saw the trailer on this when my grandson and I went to see the Magnificent 7. This will be a must see movie like Saving Private Ryan was.
I LOVE IT - some men are made to be warriors, others are made to be saviors You think of the USMC creed - that they will never leave one of their own behind.... I WILL OWN THIS MOVIE when it comes out. I was looking at this too
His comrades had weapons to cut down anyone coming at them, he faced the enemy without so much as a pocket knife. And he went back to face the enemy not once, but over 75 times in one day... and showed this kind of heroism on 3 different occasions. That is a true badass with bigger balls than a hundred warriors. And that's no disrespect to warriors... its just an expression how much awe I have for what he did.
