The loss of genuine non-combatants is tragic. Being caught in a war zone in the midst of combatants is a terrible fate for those who have no choice. It is obvious that the US military is making an effort to try and avoid these losses but it is also obvious that such losses can only be eliminated by stopping the attacks. This would leave non-combatants safe from the unintentional acts of the US and deliver them to the intentional barbarity of ISIS. Not much of a choice when you put it into perspective.
