&questionText=After carefully planning and executing an attack on a legitimate military target in a village, you find out that two nearby houses were badly damaged in the attack. Is the incidental damage to those houses while conducting the attack illegal?& &lure1=Yes, because any damage to civilian property is always illegal and will cause a claim to be filed by the owners.& &lure2=Yes, because the houses were too close to the target you attacked, and the law allows for a 200 meter radius of collateral damage.& &lure3=No, because you planned your attack on a legitimate target and made every reasonable step to avoid probable damage to other structures.& &lure4=No, because once hostilities begin, damage to civilian property is allowed within the bursting radius of indirect fire munitions.& &questionNumber=21& &mediaStyle=swf& &correctResponse=3&
