  I think that "war-torn" is the right one, but hyphenated words always fuck with me

  mizzouguy10 saidGood thing you created a thread instead of using a dictionary!
  
  

  
  
  I did, dickwad, or would that be dick-wad? One of the online dictionaries had wartorn, but others didn't. I even searched news articles and films and saw it all three ways. Thus, I went to RJ for a consensus.
