Desmond T. Doss was a Seventh Day Adventist from Virginia who agreed to join the Army in the Pacific in World War II but refused to fight. He became a medic and on numerous occasions ran across the battlefield to save injured soldiers in the midst of rifle fire, machine guns, grenades and artillery. He is credited with saving 75 men in one battle.
First, the good news: Robert Downey, Jr. has agreed to star in 'Iron Man 4' for Marvel! Considering everything he has been saying over the past year or so - essentially that he can't imagine an 'Iron Man 4' ever happening - that's a major step in the right direction and a huge win for Marvel Studios. But...Downey's agreement has come with one rather large condition. That his old friend, and current member of the Hollywood blacklist, Mel Gibson be allowed to direct.
