The US military considers it collateral damage and part of doing "business". Way back in WWII they carpet-bombed villages in Italy whenever they heard German soldiers were there. Many times they were wrong ... didn't matter, excpet to the Italian villagers who were killed, maimed, lost their homes, etc.

Fast forward to Iraq and they've been doing the same thing: Get word a village has insurgents, bomb the shit out of it ... men, women, children killed, maimed .. who cares? Air strike and hopefully kill enough of the bad guys to justify it.
