It's both I would say... just look at what our U.S. Special Forces do all the time, these missions are no cake walk that's for sure otherwise you wouldn't need 12 men specialized in everything from sniping, to underwater demolition, to hand to hand combat to carry them out. Seal Team Six have certainly been on missions that have been both potential suicide missions and certainly these involved bravery.
Its bravery if you mean the west as they down want to die,in the case of extreme Islamic Terrorists who blow them selves up,thats suicide.
Mission and bravery
Actually neither, and according to the late great George Carlin " a bunch of guys shaking their ***** at each other"
He has a point. Most young soldiers are brought up on a steady diet of war video games and glamorization of earlier wars starring big names out of tinseltown.
So they go through training, have their personalities stripped away and replaced with a collection of confusing rhetoric that is supposed to justify their killing another man in a foreign country that has never done anything to them.
Years ago we called most disillusioned soldiers "cannon fodder" as they are not smart enough nor brave enough to ask themselves what is the real purpose why they are here and will die for a bunch of cowards back home making money on their blood.
Just another job
If you are fast enough, you survive
If you fail, you die. Soon people will forget !
suicide mission ??? ......that's what terrorists do KNOWING they are going to die....
It is both.
