Seems to me like a case for 1) showing that military might against citizenry may have some serious limits, 2) that the F-35 really is nothing but a big money pit (the F-22 was a big money pit, but it did eventually do its job as promised), and 3) if they can't secure the ground at home, what hope do they have when every foreign brown 12-50 year old might be willing to die to take one of these babies out? If they try to make this a 2A killer, it will backfire hilariously (even before evidence comes out about what actually happened).
