"We have enough C-17s," said Mike McCord, the principal deputy undersecretary of defense (comptroller). "Money spent on things we don't need takes away from those we do need."
If they are surplus to US military needs, perhaps the ADF could pick up a couple more fairly cheap.
GB, you are falling for the same trap as the Yanks. They may be surplus to Yank requirements/nice to have, but do we need them? Besides, what do you like about them; they aren't even Boeings!
