The F-35 JSF is the perfect example of the old adage that a camel is a mouse built to government specifications.

Unfortunately the government never wanted the F-15, F-16 or F-18 in the first place. John "40 seconds" Boyd forced them on the desk pilots. He is unfortunately no longer around to focus the minds of the procurement pencil warriors. The F-15's motto of "not a pound for air to ground" made it the best fighter in the sky for nearly 30 years. The F-35 is a Ferrari dumptruck. It can't do any job well and costs too much to buy in the first place. Heck it costs more per plane than the F-22 and that is better than the F-35 at both air to air and air to ground.

A good fighter can still drop bombs, especially with the development of JDAMS. But there isn't much you can do to turn a bomb truck into a fighter.
