New From another angle
Bravery / courage - is acting.. even though you *are* afraid - ask millions of ex-GIs et al.

I don't know what to call: acting under religious conviction of the level which devalues all life and all society - for one's personal fantasy of a God who wants You to ____. Sociopathy is one partial-definition. Others overlap. There is no 'fear' - because there is no thought or feeling - mechanical action after those have been purged.

Nothing about courage, bravery IMhO.

New Remember that these folks were dead well before...
the collisions of planes into buildings. They died when a commitment was made and they became heroes of the glorious cause. Only the reward awaits. As you say, actions become mechanical and no fear is involved.
