Brought us special ops out of the dark ages
Brought the SEALs out of the dark ages, the 1st SFOD was already doing most of the things Dick used to develop the philosophy of Seal Team Six particularly MOB-6.
There is no doubt he pissed off the government with Red Cell (I have a VHS somewhere of their exploits) and while it may have painted a target on him he still committed the crimes. He was one that got it in his head he was bigger than the law.
If you want to credit the one really behind the US Spec Ops modernization replace Dick with Chargin' Charlie Beckwith.

I would like to add Jonas Salk
He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines. Did a lot of research and helped changed the medical field in our understanding of viruses. I believe he tried to work on a cure for HIV/AIDS but eventually died.
