No one says that armies around the world try to prevent civilian deaths. What they will say is that modern western countries try to, and go to great lengths to ensure it (not bombing the Iraqi Intel building until after dark, and even then letting them know ahead of time so the janitors could leave the building).

Or the bombing of a hospital during the first Gulf War. Or the bomb-shelter that resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties.
Don't fool yourself that the US "warns" their targets so that janitors can escape.
I think you have a Hollywood sense of what the war is really like. It's not all "Good Guys in white hats" you know. It's nasty, dirty, deadly and downright savage.
