1. the Serbian military was engaged in ethnic cleansing in Kosovo
2. NATO attempted to use solely air power to stop them
3. Whilst the NATO air campaign was underway incidents of ethnic cleansing increased, not decreased
4. When NATO changed strategy and deployed land forces Serbia withdrew immediately, ending the Ethnic cleansing.
5. Not only did the air campaign fail at its stated goal of stopping ethnic cleansing it also had a miniscule rate of enemy assets destroyed making it a double failure.
You missed some of the most interesting and sordid parts of the war as reported in the press.
European countries contributing soldiers to NATO were extremely averse to even one or two casualties. The result was that "pacts" were made with the enemy dividing up zones, allowing unimpeded ethnic cleansing.
Also, European NATO commanders would sideline their own country's troops to protect them.
Albania so mistrusted NATO that they imported anti-aircraft guns at the time to shoot NATO helicopters down.
