Hacksaw Ridge. First time view.

Let's be real here.
This was a great movie about a hero that saved many of lives.
Let's also be realistic and understanding.
First off, why would you join the ARMED forces without the intention of having to carry a firearm, and or protect yourself.
Why would you allow a man to be the medic for your soldiers if he cannot defend himself to get to where a medic is needed.
You are placed into a war zone. If your purpose is to rescue men in a war zone, shouldn't you defend yourself to rescue your own allies?
If you just want to be a unarmed medic why wouldn't you just sign up to be the medic where all the wounded are taken?
Also if you were armed there is a possibility those that were injured would not have been injured?
An armed medic would have a weapon to protect and serve as needed.
I do respect the things this man has done, but why enlist into a position that requires certain duties if you are not willing to fulfill them.
I respect his intention, but can you respect the reality of this situation?
Who in their right mind would allow a medic to look after their men if he refuses to carry a weapon for self defense to take care of his own people?
Ultimately he is putting his own men into more risk by not being able to protect them while servicing them, also subjecting them to injury by not being able to fight back.
Too clear everything up, I do salute this man.
In reality he could have saved more lives by being armed.
This is just an observation.
