Your post shows me that you do not understand the definition of 'Collateral Damage'.

Collateral Damage is by definition undesirable: It is unintended damage to non-military assets or personnel.
We have varying warheads for different target types and different conditions. When going after a tent camp you may very well use a different warhead than you would while targeting a hardened bunker. However, the dead terrorists in the tent camp/convoy scenario are not 'collateral damage', they are neutralized targets.

The term is one of art in not only BDA, but also in investigations and legal proceedings. It has an intentionally negative connotation as something we strive to minimize or avoid wherever possible.
