If you kill a combatant on the battlefield vs taking them prisoner and torturing them, yes, it will do less damage to our prestige and image. Everyone understands the perils of war making, but many people have a real tough time getting behind torture, even if you believe in your heart the person deserves the torture. It's the downside of being a Christian nation. We all have morals, ethics, and values we also try to protect.
