Personality
Desmond Doss was deeply influenced by his Seventh-day Adventist faith, which shaped his pacifist beliefs. He was a conscientious objector, meaning he refused to kill or carry a weapon due to his religious convictions. Despite this, he was determined to serve his country and chose to become a combat medic. His personality was marked by courage, compassion, and unwavering dedication to saving lives rather than taking them.
Persecution.
The army treated Desmond Doss harshly because of his refusal to carry a weapon due to his religious beliefs as a Seventh-day Adventist and conscientious objector. He faced verbal harassment and threats from fellow soldiers and superiors. For example, he was warned with statements like, “Doss, when we get into combat, I'll make sure you don't come back alive.”
He was even threatened with court martial.He was also subjected to physical abuse and bullying during training because his refusal to bear arms was seen as unpatriotic or cowardly by some in the military. Despite this harsh treatment, Doss remained steadfast in his convictions and went on to perform heroic acts as an unarmed combat medic all because the Bible said"thou shall not kill".
What Made Him Popular

His bravery and selflessness under fire were extraordinary, especially given his pacifist stance. For these acts of valor, he became th first conscientious objector to be awarded the medal of honor,the highest military decoration in the United States

- A man was crying and someone asked him why he was crying. And he said I have only one son, I have done all my possible best to educate him so that he will be a great person and by God's grace he has been able *to acquire all certificates* including:
 G.C.E
 W.A.E.C
 Bachelor's
 MSc
 Phd
*BUT*
Unfortunately *he fell sick* and doctors said they can't do anything about it and the only option is to die *in the next 30 minutes* and my son told me to bring all his certificates and I brought them. All he could say was;
*father, these are my degrees but you never told me to study my Bible*.
I don't know what I'm going to tell God.
*PLEASE LET US TAKE NOTE OF THESE:*
Study the Bible like the way you study your notes when it is exams time
Fear God like the way you fear death or people in higher authority
Remember God like you remember your name
Pray like it is the only thing to do to go to heaven
Fast on regular basis
Have time for God
Be the doer of the Word

BIBLE simply means: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth!
Did you know that
When you carry the Bible Satan has a head ache.
When you open it, he collapses;
When he sees you reading it; he loses his strength, AND When you stand on the Word of God,Satan can't hurt you! Do you also know that?
