If you want to draw that distinction, then don't you need to account for intent? I don't think the USG intended to bomb a school. The guy throwing a Molotov cocktail has even less claim to it being an accident.

It would be manslaughter where I am, 150 counts.

But the idea that the US cares is laughable.

The people barely care. The government certainly doesn’t.
The US has advanced targeting systems the molotov thrower didn't have access to; it's more reasonable to account for intent in the other direction.
