Andreas: The US "accidentally" kills civilians when they fire rockets and machineguns indiscriminantly into cities.

Eric: Cite some examples of the military "indiscriminately" firing rockets and machine guns into cities. You say it happens, so it must. Give examples.

The only even marginally related example I can think of is the tank that accidentally fired on the Palestine Hotel during the early stages of the war. The tank commander is being investigated and possibly tried for that error. Meanwhile, terrorists have tried to bomb the Palestine Hotel several times.
