Your Favorite War Hero

Branching from Pablo's post, who is your favorite war hero? This question really pertains to those who personally did amazing feats, not led others to do so.

"A knight cannot save the world. They call certain methods of fighting good and others evil, acting as if there were some nobility to the battlefield."
"Honor? Glory? There's no point in speaking to a killer who indulges in such nonsense."
"It's a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated"

In the aforementioned thread, I stated my favorite war hero, Leo Major, Canadian marksman who single handedly captured nearly a hundred German soldiers on his own, liberated a German-occupied city called Zwole, in which he single handedly captured 10 sets of 8-10 Germans, burned down the Gestapo HQ, and raided the SS HQ, killing half its officers and forcing the rest to flee, all on what was supposed to be a recon mission for artillery, saving the city from the attack. In the Korean War, he led a 20 man squad into a hill occupied by thousands of Chinese, forced them to flee, and held a counter attack for 3 days until US relief came. The only Canadian to earn 2 DCMs in 2 different wars. (would've had 3 but he didn't want one coming from the hands of the incompetent Montgomery)
