Our strategic airlift capability may not be in the best of shape
either.  Back in the time frame of the initial (airlifted) Desert 
Shield buildup, I was hearing that it would pretty much be the
last hurrah for a lot of high-time C-141s.  Combine this with the
recent turbulence in the C-17 program and the overall unsexiness
of logistics as a peacetime budgetary priority... brr.
