There are two types of damage: additional damage and collateral damage.
Additional damage: We dropped a bomb on Terrorist-A, but instead of just getting Terrorist-A we got -B and -C. That I support.
Collateral damage: We dropped a bomb on Terrorist-A, but in the midst of it all an innocent civilian is hurt. That I don't support.
The problem though is that collateral damage cannot be stopped. Whether faulty communication, intelligence, or just fog of war, it will happen.
