    Imagine that you are a soldier on a battlefield. Look around, all around you your allies are lying on the floor, either as dead bodies or wounded, crying out “MEDIC!”. Wouldn’t you help if you could? Desmond Doss is the man that did. He was an American combat medic during World War 2, a conscientious objector who wouldn’t use a weapon.
