Easy for you to say sitting at home. By your simplistic logic, everyone who goes into battle is "stupid".

Obviously these 7 guys who drove into a situation where they were hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned knew the consequences.

Even to the point of preferring death to surrender. Have to give them that much at least.

No, I don't think everyone who goes into battle is "stupid". Where did you get that from? There's a difference between bravery and foolhardiness. Fortunately, these attackers failed miserably in their purpose. They threw their lives away to no effect. I wish all their brethren the same fate.
