Desmond Doss, a World War II medic of the 77th Army Division, served at Hacksaw Ridge on Okinawa, a small island off the coast of Japan. The first conscientious objector to win the Medal of Honor, Doss had a strong faith in God and reverence for the Bible as well as the Ten Commandments. While he didn’t carry a gun into battle, Doss was never unarmed. He carried with him his Bible and his undying faith.

Doss believed he should preserve life rather than take life based upon his personal application of the Sixth Commandment, therefore he chose not to carry a gun in combat. Because of his belief in the Sabbath and his desire to worship God, Doss did not work on the seventh day of the week—Saturday (Exodus 20:8-11). However, he picked up extra duties and worked long hours the rest of the week to make up for it.

World war I might be triggered by the Murder of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria. But the fact that so many countries participated in it indicates that it actually the result of years of political problems, competition to obtain power/influence, and  nationalistic pride.

If the countries at the time decided to set aside their egoistical nature and choose diplomatic approach to solve their problems, They could've prevented more than  20 million deaths.
