Saying "We should take all reasonable steps to avoid killing civilians" is not incompatible with acknowledging that deaths will still sometimes happen.

Well sure. However something I've noticed is that it seems nations are MORE than glad to ignore the convention unless it's someone they hate who just killed civilians. Then suddenly it becomes a big deal. I do agree that all reasonable steps should be taken to avoid them. I'm also saying that, when dealing with people perfectly willing to use civilians as shields, use civilian cover to hide, and ignore the convention if they even bothered to acknowledge it in the first place, acting like someone is a monster because they shot a civilian miiiight not be reasonable.
