Torturing the Enemy: Right or Wrong

Abstract

Torture is a subject that most Americans spend little or no time contemplating in a normal day. Our Soldiers face decisions on a daily basis that the common person will never encounter. In this paper, I will discuss one decision in particular; whether torture is right or wrong no matter what the circumstance. I will also define torture as it applies to the common person and to the Army. What is torture and are we torturing captured enemy Soldiers and civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan?
