These things happen in war.

The drone strike was the correct response and the US military was as careful as they could be until an unexpected turn of fate had a family return home in their car. It was not the fault of the USA military. Those innocent lives are mourned by the military and this country. It was not an attack conducted in error.

How many children were lost in the airport bombing because I believe it was the people that were the target and not the military by the bombers.
