like Alvin York he was a United States soldier, famous for his heroism in World War I. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for leading an attack on a German machine-gun nest, killing 32 German soldiers and capturing 132 others as well as 35 German machine guns. When he was drafted he refused to kill anyone even though he was the most accurate shooter in all of Tennesee(where he was born and raised) and maybe the best in america at the time. But anyways when he was drafted he refused to kill anyone then he watched as most of his closest friends died after that the rest is history.
