The LEGEND Desmond Doss | #blackriflecoffee
Name’s Desmond Doss. Skinny guy, polite as hell, wouldn’t hurt a fly—literally. Like, the man’s out here in World War freakin’ Two, everybody’s packing heat, and Doss? He’s rolling around with a Bible in one hand and his other hand flipping the bird at the devil. No gun. Just guts and God.
Now, picture this: Okinawa. Hacksaw Ridge. It’s basically hell but with more screaming. Bullets are flying, mortars are blowing up chunks of earth the size of pickup trucks, and Doss? He’s just jogging into the middle of it, cool as a cucumber. Or like… a cucumber on a triple espresso.
Rumor has it—don’t quote me (but it’s cool if you do)—Desmond brewed up a pot of coffee so strong it could make a battleship do jumping jacks. My man ran on pure, uncut caffeine. He’d sip that sludge straight from his tin cup, no cream, no sugar, and then haul off into enemy fire like he was late for church and the potluck after.
Anyway, one night he’s up there on the ridge, and everybody’s pulling back.
“Too hot!” they yell. “We’re all gonna die!” they cry.
But Desmond? He’s just sitting there, nursing his cup o’ Joe like it’s a lazy Sunday. He slams the last gulp, wipes his mouth on his sleeve, and goes, “Guess I’ll go get a few.”
A few, he says.
He ends up dragging like 75 guys to safety. 75!
That’s not a rescue—that’s a damn combat shuttle service. Dude’s out there slinging wounded GIs over his shoulder like sacks of flour, all while whispering, “Just one more, Lord… and maybe a refill.”
The Japanese snipers? They can’t hit him. Not because he’s particularly sneaky—no, they probably just respect the hustle. They’re up there in the trees, sipping tea, watching this caffeinated madman play real-life Frogger with bullets, and they’re like, “Damn.”
So next time you’re sipping your morning cup, think of Desmond big-brass-ones Doss. Raise your mug high and say, “Just one more, Lord.”
Stay caffeinated 🇺🇸☕️
