That's just how war is these days

You shoot someone, they die.

It's not like in the good old days, when war was shooting people and then they high-five you and you go get cheeseburgers together.

This line was about modern military ignoring rules of engagement declaring combat in civilian areas forbidden.

You release a game, people complain.

It's not like in good ol' days, when game devs made what they wanted and the players were a lot more understanding, not demanding what they were not planning to add forever.

Not even sure what you are trying to convey by this thread.

It's "you shoot, someone dies." IIRC, this was in response to Brownie's observation that "any plane we shoot down could land in a residential area."

It's also noteworthy that there's a definite expectation in-universe that the pilot of a plane that gets shot down will be able to--or at least have a chance to--eject before they die. So, the proposed cheeseburger scenario is actually not that far-fetched. In fact, some pilots you shoot down later join up with you.

just a kid who never holds a gun, doesn't understand the meaning of collateral damage of war.
He doesn't understand there will never be a solution to a war without collateral damage. This is a thing for thousands of years, and no solution to it: either intentionally or unintentionally.
In fact, the "collateral damage" term and activity against "unintentional damage to noncombatants" were coined by some pro-Socialism activists during the VN war, meanwhile the LASV in fact conducted a lot of military operations on the civilians who didn't stand with their socialism.
Now, the Conventions on War (Geneva Conv) only restricts excessive collateral damage, meaning the intention of killing non-combatant(including POW, injured, fatally wounded, etc): it doesn't say "You are not allow to conduct military operations within civilian area". This laws is to restrict and minimise damages to non-combatant, not to forbidden. Literally: If they have no lethal weapon in possession, you are not allowed to kill them.
Back to AC5, even if Chopper plane couldn't head straight to the field, it could be acceptable in the meaning of War, however, that would've been a better excuse for Osea to wage a full scale war on the Yuke, even nuke them.
