I would also add... and C-17 & C-5A 's (even C-130's) are just flying boxcars. And yet they are operated by a military organization that calls itself "Strategic Airlift Command".

Anything that keeps strategic assets in the air and circumnavigating countries (and so called allies - Like France) that won't allow flyovers for political/military reasons IS a "Strategic Asset".

We up to speed on that now, OB?

Didn’t mean to exclude those. Pretty hard to drops bombs if some cargo plane hasn’t hauled them across the ocean. Not to mention all the other stuff.
