13. Alvin York wasn't a psychopath, he was wild as a youth
and became deeply religious after being struck by lightening and surviving, he was a conscientious objector at first after being drafted but after his pastor counseled him that it was ok to go to war he did in a big way, he saved his squad from an ambush by German machine gun nests and single handedly shot 20+ Germans by flanking them, they thought they were surrounded and over a 100 of them gave up. He was a damn good shot growing up turkey shooting and he used the same technique in combat.
