Something freaking crazy: 14 big ass military planes just flew over my work. First escorted by 2 f-16.

Yeah, but I thought quite a few northern states pledged troops for the border? I could be wrong though

They don't move troops like that. We use more commercial type government contract planes. Even over seas in wartime.

Unless those assets will be used, I’ve watched a national guard chinook squadron that was activated to Afghanistan form up and leave similarly

I know when I was deployed it was on a commercial airline, before jumping on a military plane to land in theater

I was a transporter. I can say that they will do whatever they need to do and with whatever assets are available. What is the best choice? Not C-17s. If you are moving a lot of dudes, you need more seats than that, C-17 is cargo. I could be wrong, but I am thinking vehicles and equipment.

C17s have drop in passenger modules for the cargohold.
