Greatest soldier movie ever!
Everything about this movie is great. It's based on a true story. I don't know how accurate it is, but the underlying theme was well presented. It's a story about convictions being put to the test when faced with circumstances that don't fit neatly into the preconceived right vs. wrong world that was expected. The young draftee, York, is perceived as being cowardly because of his conscientious objection to war. His faith is tested in combat where his bravery becomes unquestionable.
Most of the pivotal facts are verifiable. He was a baptized Christian and conscientious objector. He did reconcile his faith with being a soldier. He did lead the attack on German machine gun nests resulting in the Medal of Honor. His community did build a house for him and his wife.
