Agreed. Hacksaw Ridge was a terrific and horrific movie. I lived in Lynchburg, VA for a while. Desmond Doss was a hero.

Hacksaw was one of many very bloody battles to take southern Okinawa.
The 96th and 77th ID's took a pounding. The 1st Marines, moving in
parallel actually had an easier time of it for once. The HBO mini-series
'The Pacific' gives a pretty good representation of just how bad it was on
Okinawa for the Marines and it was worse in some instances for the Army.
