Yes that is why Air Force now uses the less capable (for CAS) B1-bomber at 300 million per copy in Afghanistan these days.

from wiki

Five United States Special forces operatives, an Afghan Army counterpart, and an interpreter were killed by friendly fire in Southern Zabul Province on June 9, 2014. Whilst on patrol, and coming under heavy Taliban fire, an air-strike was called in and a B-1 Lancer bomber misdirected it's payload killing the seven military pesonnel amongst others.

I do not recall reading about any A10 friendly fire incidences.

I find it incredable that the Air Force would rather use a 300 million dollar nuclear bomber for CAS then a much less expensive and more capable A10. The AF needs a serious leadership shake up .

"I do not recall reading about any A10 friendly fire incidences"

I do. Look up an Nasiriyah. Apparently Air Force training manuals don't show their pilots what a Marine AAV-7 looks like. Even when they have large American flags painted on their sides.

You don't remember the incident with the Brit armored vehicles where they killed six of our guys - and then refused to even apologize to those kids' parents?

You have a short memory.
