No, Tom, before "they" invented the Newspeak, goodthink, phrase "collateral damage" nobody even bothered to keep track of the unintentional killing of civilians on the battlefield or pay it any mind at all.

At no point in the history of humanity has the issue of collateral damage been taken more seriously than it is right now, nor has any nation on Earth gone to greater lengths and expense to minimize it than the United States has and is presently.
According to that definition, collateral damage is absolutely NOT murder:
Back to the drawing board with you Tom.
You don't know history and you don't even know the meaning of the words you're talking about.

Let's take a look at where the US is trying to "minimize collateral damage" with drone-fired missiles:

!. In Iraq and Afghanistan where it has installed and is protecting Vichy governments.
2. In Yemen, Pakistan, and Somolia, where the US has not declared any type of war.

FACTS:
In 1953 the US and British governments overthrew the only democratically elected Muslim government in the Mid-East with Operation Ajax, and installed a vicious US puppet.
1953 Iranian coup d'état - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Today the US supports the repressive dictatorships of Yemen, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Kuwait, and Jordan.

You say I don't know history, so just keep your head buried in the sand and drink the US State Department Kool-Aid, and tell me that I'm wrong about those facts.
