I beg to differ. (To select one of the lists arbitrarily, I got the link from a TVTropes page that mentioned a specific person on that list.)

Strawman. It's obvious I meant "in game."

So humans with much, much better equipment and training, indoctrinated from birth to be fanatically loyal to the Imperium, with the added benefit of being fictional, are supposed to be less able to pull off insanely heroic/brave/insane/physically impossible things than actual humans, with primitive equipment and only a few months of training, who'd been raised since birth to value life and freedom?

Of course, I suppose there might be a point to that, since many of the things that garnered a medal of honor would be deemed outrageously unrealistic if presented in any other context.

I find your post both disrespectful and facetious. As well as obdurate, combative, and other things not worth mentioning.

Frazzled edit: closing as its getting pretty flamy at this point.
