We have lots of very fine aircraft, the USMC could be happy doing CAS with old reliable A10s. Keep production going of F22 for air superiority missions, develop a similar carrier aircraft and use what we have on hand already. The F35 is a big waste of money and already our "partners" are bailing out over huge cost increases and never ending delays in deliveries.
If it's "one size fits all" then why are there three unique variants in development? Your grasp of the facts is underwhelming to say the least.

The Marine Corps would not be happy with the A-10 and said so back in the early 90s when Congress mandated that the Air Force transfer A-10s to the Marine Corps and Army. Fortunately. people who knew what they were doing, unlike yourself, were able to put a stop to that nonsense. The A-10 cannot operate from the deck of an LHA or LHD. Your solution would dictate flushing all the work already done on the JSF down the tubes and investing how many more billions into redesigning the A-10? In effect you advocate starting over. Simply brilliant.

The same aircraft that after spending billions of dollars developing has problems with a defective OBOGS which may result in killing it's pilot?
develop a similar carrier aircraft
How much in your "learned" calculations will that cost?

Who has withdrawn from the project?
There's a reason why people like you will never command anything more complex than a keyboard.
