it is not a “fact” that every state has an air transport arm in the military , some states that can’t afford it or don’t need it, or have a history of violent colonial militaristic rule , don’t have a military at all . Even states that can justify a military have in the past opted to remove the governments air transport arm , one notable one after the president and his senior civilian officials perished in the care of their “elite” flying servants .
