Shortly after D-Day when Bradley was ready to begin the breakout, the USAAF sent nearly the entire 8th AF heavy bombers to strike the German defenses and clear the route for the tanks and infantry. Instead they mostly dropped their bombs a few moments early and in minutes inflicted nearly a thousand US casualties.
It happens. It always has happened. It will always happen.
