>first they marketed it as a bomber
No it wasn't. Joint Strike Fighter says it all. Joint as in a joint venture between multiple services (Marines, Air Force, and Navy) designing and building a strike fighter, as in a bomber that can fight, too, AKA a multirole platform.
>when this failed they marketed it as the next f15
It was never marketed as the next F-15. That would be the F-22. Which is why the F-22 size was constrained to fit into the Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HAS) already built and designed to fit an F-15 sized fighter.
>when also this failed they marketed it as the next f16
It was always designed to replace the F-16 for the Air Force, the F-18 Hornet for the US Navy, and the Harrier for the US Marines and Royal Air Force.
>when also this failed it became multirole
>when also this
Nice Engrish. Furthermore, it was designed and marketed as a strike fighter (multirole) since the conception of the JSF program.
>now its a cas capable
Always was. Just like B-1b and B-52 bombers performed CAS roles in Iraq and Afghanistan. As did the F-16, F-15, and F/A-18 Super Hornet. Extremely accurate GPS guided bombs have made any platform able to carry them, CAS capable. Along with laser and optical guided bombs when weather conditions permit. Not the F-35's problem that you're an ignorant retard.
