It is a boondoggle. Who in gods name are we fighting? I have posted in other threads my thoughts on the need for anti-submarine warfare...but JSF, F-22 and any other super planes are folly.
We are just like the German building Tiger tanks...great tank, but...

We will alway need something to say we are top dog, even if we don't have to use it - a political thing.
The JSF allows smaller quicker forces/deployments closer to the action. This is something we will need more of in the future.
Don't forget the A-10 Warthog has stayed in service longer than many wanted or thought. There are many reasons for this, being able to hang out over the action longer than the typical "hit and run" is only one reason.
