Speak to anyone involved on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan. Strikes on valid targets were routinely frustrated by the chain of command worried about collateral damage. That's not to say there are examples that where it happened anyways(you'll link me the Kunduz hospital airstrike as an example). Contrast with the USSR's occupation of Afghanistan, or their more recent contributions to the Syrian Civil War. Collateral damage is _not_ a consideration when they decide to go kinetic. Barrel bombing civilians _is the point_.
