Historical:
1. Francis Marion "The Swamp Fox" (Revolutionary War) 2. Audey Murphy (WWII, a real life Captain America) 3. John Paul Van (Vietnam. This dude was bad ass. Read a book about him in high school for a book report. He once called a B-52 strike down on his own position because the NVA were about to overrun it. He survived and saved the firebase.) 4. Marcus Luttrell (War on Terror) Are there any movies based on these guys? |

Disney did a live action movie with Lesley Nielson on the Swamp Fox, and the Patriot is loosely based on his life. Audey Murphy starred in an autobiographical movie about his service in WWII. I do not think there is a movie about John Paul Van, just a book, but there should be. Marcus Luttrel was played by Mark Walhburg in Lone Survivor, and he wrote a book the movie was based on.

Audey Murphy's biopic toned down his exploits because he thought people wouldn't believe it.

It does show when he jumped on a burning Sherman tank and held off a company of Germans with the M2 on top of it even though he was shot multiple times. He was repeatedly turned down when he tried to volunteer because he was too small, but when they needed more men they made an exception. He won the Congressional Medal of Honor and a bunch of other medals and got a battle field commission. He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II.
