The American military does not officially endorse torture, as it is prohibited under both U.S. law and international agreements like the Geneva Conventions. However, instances of torture have occurred in the past, often justified by some as necessary for national security or intelligence-gathering. These actions have led to significant ethical debates and criticism, emphasizing the importance of adhering to humane treatment standards even in the context of warfare. The military's stance is to promote lawful and ethical conduct in all operations.
