So you are saying Al Qaeda folks are heroic? There is a difference between bravery and foolishness. Faramir is a favored character in the movie and Tolkien makes a point of distinguishing between him and his brother. His brother is blinded by the power of ring, while Faramir is a compassionate man who questions war and killing, and resists the power of the ring. However, what causes his undoing is his lifelong attempt to buy his father's love. He almost loses his life in trying to appease his mad father, thus the brainless suicide mission. He would have been more useful in disobeying the father and defending his people instead of throwing away his own life and his men's in a hare brained scheme that he knew very well was going to lead to a disastrous failure.

Next time try to argue the point logically instead of getting personal.
