To go to war means to engage in a fight with another nation. Many see war as an appropriate action that can only solve problems. Others believe that war is a violent action that brings nothing but casualties. In the article “Concerning the Torture of Others” Susan Sontag writes about the torture soldiers inflict on prisoners.
