Yes it's a disaster, but I still give our troops credit for the lack of civilian deaths caused by our fire. Remember one thing in WW2 it was common for 20k-40k civilians to die in a single month much less a year. Hell some months were in the 100k range of dead civilians.

So I'd say being we are fighting in heavily populated battlefields, I'd say 35k is a low number especially when you consider most of that 35k probably around 70 or 80% were killed by the insurgents.
