Answer: Private Idiot

Prior to Sergeant Howell entering the soldiers' dormitory Smitty and another soldier have been messing around throwing a knife. When the sergeant enters the other soldier mistimes his throw and the knife goes into Smitty's foot. Because he has a knife in his foot the sergeant thinks he must be pretty foolish and nicknames him 'Private Idiot'.
4. Which day does Doss tell the Captain is his sabbath?

Answer: Saturday

After Doss tells the Captain that he won't carry a weapon the Captain asks him if there's anything else he needs from the Army. Doss replies that he doesn't want to work on Saturdays because, as a Seventh-Day Adventist, that is his sabbath and he shouldn't work on it.
5. In the Japanese tunnels on the ridge top Doss comes across a wounded Japanese soldier. Does Doss refuse to help the soldier because he is the enemy?

Answer: No

While Doss is rescuing men from Hacksaw Ridge he enters one of the Japanese tunnels in order to escape from some Japanese soldiers. While making his way through the tunnels he comes across a wounded Japanese soldier. Doss helps the soldier with his wound and gives him a shot of morphine, much to the surprise of the Japanese soldier.
6. Captain Glover delays the final attack on Hacksaw Ridge so that Doss can pray.

Answer: True

The final assault on Hacksaw is due to take place on Doss's sabbath but the Captain persuades him to be part of it because his faith inspires the other men. While Doss is praying the Captain gets a call on the radio asking him why he hasn't started the attack yet as it was due to start ten minutes previously to which the Captain replies that the attack hasn't started because "Private Doss hasn't finished praying".
7. What does Doss not want to leave behind when he is being evacuated from Hacksaw Ridge after being injured?

Answer: His bible

Doss is injured in the leg kicking away a Japanese grenade. As he is being stretchered away he realises he has lost his bible and asks for it to be found.

The bible is found and given to Doss just before he is lowered from the Ridge.
