While this is true, there is obviously a difference in attitude or standards when it comes to the setting of the ROE or it's enforcement - afterall when was the last time you heard of the British, Australian, or Canadian military being the instigator of "friendly fire" or for accidently shooting up a wedding party?
There was a wonderful study done on the mental indoctination and preperation for combat done by the US military that I read for me Force & Statecraft course ~ basically covering the training practices that reduce a battlefield to only "red and blue" forces, excluding allies, neutrals, or non-combatants; and how this is a problem when it comes to reality - if I can find the study again I'll link it.
