Has anyone else noticed how many of these courageous men were country boys?

Murphy was from rural Texas. Sgt. York from rural Tennsssee, Carlos Hathcock from rural Arkansas.

The same is true for many fighter pilots. One in particular.....and his name escapes me at the moment....attributed his shooting skills to bird hunting as a kid. You have to lead the target properly for accurate fire.
