A solid riposte KenV, but assuming the USAF were also very aware of all the points you made (base facilities, cargo capabilities, etc) it does beg the question as to why, when given the option, they chose the A330/KC-45?
As you appeared to concede yourself in response to an earlier post of mine, it was 'US taxpayers $ for US products' (a political decision, in other words) that largely swung it for Boeing at the second time of trying.
