Indeed it does. It would be a fair and just response to a terrible event. There is no argument about who did what here. Event: U.S. Aircraft did terrible damage to a hospital. Response: make what little amends one could in those circumstances.
You think it says a lot. It says no more than what I have written in the previous paragraph. It says nothing about the hows and whys. You are fully entitled to speculate about all sorts sorts of things - and, to be honest, that's quite understandable. But we may need to hear a lot more facts before we can judge this. Those are things that will say a lot.
