H'mmmm. This guy is inadvertantly debunking you.
He is saying the infrastructure renovations are significantly costly...and he is all set to do it again...spend taxpayer money as if it is water. Okay.
Guess we may not wish to consult with him on saving our dollars.
And his fueling storage and resupply position I will now take with a hefty dose of salt. As if those aren't infrastructure as well...

Try to explain. “Sluggo” was talking about the current fleet of tankers with the small KC-135 footprints.

“significantly costly” compared to a super tanker full of fuel?
math:
Super tanker: 150,000 t (not quite a big one)
JP-8: 0,8 kg/l
Volume: 187,500,000 l
or 50,000,000 gal
with $2.5 per gallon
$125 million fuel cost for just one base.
What's the bigger waste, building a proper tanker base or losing a war?
And his fueling storage and resupply position I will now take with a hefty dose of salt.
Is it so hard to understand that a tanker base is useless without sufficient fuel supply on ground? To fly fuel in for aerial refueling is a joke.
