I'm not taunting you, but simply suggesting that dry dictionary definitions are not always an adequate guide to appropriate word usage.

Yes, I think that anyone who enters into an activity that will almost undoubtedly cost him his life, is by definition brave.

This includes the heinous and depraved acts you listed.

Bravery does not connote noble intentions. A better word for that might be courage.

All IMO, and I understand why this view is controversial.
