Its a game changer.  In fact, it was our failure to procure more f35s and claim command of the air in afghanistan that explains our defeat.  The Taliban's air force was just too strong.
The military today has two strengths.  F35s and diversity.

I think if we had more F35s and 20 LCSs, we would have won the war. Superiority.

Shallow draft.  LCSs could run up and down the Tarnak, Helmend and Arghandab and provide mobile firepower to counter the taliban's dominance of the air.

You weren't completely wrong in being disappointed with Roberts' votes, but you made the mistake of misunderstanding the typical breakdown of SCOTUS voting, IIRC.

He's not a Souter, but he isn't a Scalia or Thomas either; probably closer to an O'Connor.

None of the republican appointees are perfectly predictable.  There are some weird libertarian swings in some of the decisions. Whereas the democrat appointees appear more lockstep.  It would  be interesting to see the % of agreement cross referenced across all the justices in a matrix.

I will say when it really matters, he is a souter, not an o'conner.  Obamacare being the obvious example.

Glad to see Thomas getting to lead a conservative wing.  He waited long enough.

Weird pick.  
Of course, being SOCOM and not AF, maybe they want them.  US pilots don't do tail draggers.  Rough field capability probably was the decision maker.

30 minutes with a D5 and you have a usable airfield.
