Once again, massive thank you to @Scav_Sergei for sourcing the real-life images! He has loads of threads detailing the heroics of the real-life equivalents of these gold order soldiers on these forums if you’d like more details!

Still waiting for Joseph Crow.
Still waiting for John Basilone

There are even many people who constantly refute and boycott with the note on the login screen: virtual characters, if there is any similarity, purely coincidental.
