| | Professional armies do not, as a matter of policies, commit such acts. | | | The United States military has historically been willing to attack civilian targets if it will suit its military objectives. | | | One example of unintended civilian casualties is when an aircraft targets a bridge with a missile, then lauches the missile, and the pilot realizes that a bus full of women and children is driving onto the bridge. |

| | The United States was initially slow to respond but the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 contained language authorizing and funding a trial program for what would evolve into the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP). | | | As it turned out, the United States faced just as large a shortage of training aircraft as it did civilian pilots. | | | The federal Civil Aeronautics Authority (predecessor of the Federal Aviation Administration) regulations required a CPTP-participating flight school to own one aircraft for every ten students enrolled in the program. |
