I want to have more C-17s to meet our commitments overseas especially in Iraq and Afghanistan. If there is a war in Korea we will need to transport men and material from Japan to South Korea.

KC-X will provide ample transport capacity. Any aircraft offered provides more space for pallets or troops than a C-17.
A C-17 guzzles twice as much fuel as a KC-X.

And how many do you figure we'll need? A million, billion, zillion of them?

Why? South Korea has an economy 10 times the size of the Norks. Isn't it about time they grew up and defended themselves?
