They managed to half-deafen John Simpson, they have destroyed British and even American armoured vehicles but now a new level of achievement...

They hit a hospital they had the GPS co-ordinates for, not once but multiple times.

That's just a special kind of fail, it really is, and I am genuinely disgusted by the loss of life caused by American stupidity and incompetence.
Ask US combat veterans what they think of the Air Force and why they often refer to it as the Air Farce. The only ones who will generally get a positive response are the A-10 jockeys. The ones the Air Force is trying so hard to get rid of. Other than the A-10s they much prefer when Navy or Marine air support is available.

In their long line of mistakes, how does this stack up next to bombing the Chinese Embassy?

This was Afghanistan, the Air Campaign in Iraq has not gone much better. Their supply drops to resistance fighters all seem to land on IS positions and friendly fire incidents are high. As usual their claims of destruction are wildly exaggerated and can not be substantiated.

Not that it would help much but I would just roll them back into the army and try to start anew.
