murphy was a god damn lunatic. what kind of man can suffer a terrible injury that turns gangrene that needed part of his leg removed and then goes back to the front a few months later? then takes on a whole battalion and six tanks with an m2 and a radio, gets his legs almost blown off then leads a charge with the last handful of men in his company. the army clearly promoted him after that to an administrative role off the front because they realized he had a death wish. most men get hurt once and leave the service entirely, but i guess it's men like that that actually win wars.
