But the US accepts collateral damage willingly by executing attacks that will harm or kill bystanders as part of the plan.

The US would rather have no collateral damage at all. Hence the expensive high precision weapons and all that. If you are suggesting that the US should not kill terrorists, that's not a realistic proposition.

Hm... why do you believe that not killing these people is not an option? Do you have first hand experience with them? I don't. All I have to go on are news stories and occasional annecdotes from people in the affected areas. That does not make a very complete picture. How successful would these people be without any intervention by the US?

No I don't. Some people objectively deserve to die. See e.g. ISIS, radical islamists, etc.
