warplanes are all a part of the afghan tradition, they aren't the exception demanding extra care.
to address your main question, i doubt there are any such statistics. no one really knows whether civilian-clothed vietnamese killed by american troops were impartial, sympathetic or supportive of the viet-cong. it's just a case of kill or possibly be killed, better them than possibly us.
