The first two that came to mind are Desmond Doss and Bernie Webber.
Doss for his actions as a conscientious objector medic on Hacksaw Ridge where he saved over 75 wounded soldiers and Webber for the Pendleton rescue off of Cape Cod where he crammed 32 survivors onto a small motor lifeboat.
What's interesting to note is that neither of these two carried a weapon. They hurt nobody. They saved lives.
Lucius Cornelius Sulla, dictator of Rome, and Fransisco Franco, Caudillo of Spain. Both were willing to take whatever steps necessary, to save their countries from political chaos and ruin, including ruthlessly suppressing opposition.
