Now the US also hit alot of infrastructure during that war, resulting in civilian suffering after the war

Infrastructure is a legitimate military target. We obviously made every effort to avoid civilian casualties, and given the scale of the war you could only proclaim us "successful". But in wars civilians get killed sometimes.

As to infrastructure, it makes a legitimate military target. A civilian bridge used to supply the front lines of the enemy must be taken out. Similarly, for communications facilities that are used to broadcast propaganda, manufacturing facilities, etc. Anything that contributes to the enemy's war effort must be taken out.
