WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people, and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot.
Stan Jensen from the Seventh-Day Adventist Church took this story to screenwriter/producer Gregory Crosby in the late 1990s.
Desmond Doss:
Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the Earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow...
When Desmond returns to rescue Sgt Howell, a Japanese sniper attempts to shoot Desmond while Howell watches for the sniper's muzzle flash. Desmond dashes for cover and the sniper shoots and misses while Sgt Howell fires twice at the sniper. During this last exchange of gunfire neither Howell nor the sniper are looking through their rifle sights, they are looking well over the top of them.
