Hacksaw Ridge is just an incredible story that needed to be told and I am still amazed by the guy. The fact they had to actually tone down his accomplishments, cause people wouldn't believe them, is mind blowing..

Yeah they didn't even mention Guam.
Not mention his postwar years.
After the war, Doss initially planned to continue his career in carpentry but extensive damage to his arm left him unable to do so.
In 1946, Doss was diagnosed with tuberculosis which he contracted in Leyte.
He subsequently underwent treatment for five and a half years – which cost him a lung and five ribs – before being discharged from the hospital in August 1951 with 90% disability.
Doss continued to receive treatment from the military but after an overdose of antibiotics rendered him completely deaf in 1976, he was given 100% disability; he was able to regain his hearing after receiving a cochlear implant in 1988.
Despite the severity of his injuries, Doss managed to raise a family on a small farm in Rising Fawn, Georgia.
