I have been to NSA, Bahrain and since it was some time ago, I imagine there would be more build up around the base.

Damage to those civilian structures resulting from attacks on the base I would consider collateral damage. It happens in war and I will apply standards equally.

Attacking a water treatment plant nowhere near any military target is not justified. Even if it happened to the attacking country- one crime does not give a pass for another.
