Well, for one thing, we can't avoid fighting wars. We can, and by law are required to, avoid deliberately inflicting pain on specific individuals in an effort to coerce them to divulge information.
Let me repeat this. Torture is unlawful. It is prohibited by the laws of the United States. It is prohibited by international law. It is prohibited by the Constitution. Engaging in acts of war, if properly sanctioned, is lawful.
As I noted before, there is no point in getting into the moral aspects with you, as you are apparently not equipped to recognize them.
