Why wouldn't they be brave? Brave but crazy? Brave but horribly misguided?

Bravery entails h:

cour·age /'k?r?d?, 'k?r-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[kur-ij, kuhr-] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain, etc., without fear; bravery. Having courage

I have no idea why you would think folks willing to kill themselves (or encountering others who want to kill them), while on a mission (a mission we don't approve of), aren't brave. They aren't a "good" kind of brave- but brave they most certainly seem to be. They face death, danger and pain- dunno what else you want. Doesn't make them what we'd call "decent" people- no more than Atilla, but I'm not calling them cowards- cause that would be silly.
