We've been sending packages to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for the past two years from our Scouts, and when the guys send back photos, sometimes we get a picture at the airbase where they are arriving in country. Mostly we see troops getting off United 747's and other large commercial jets in the photos we get from soldiers in Iraq. Pretty much the same at Kandahar. (Afghanistan) Still, I can see why you'd want to have a military aircraft, but, I'm pretty sure soldiers are happy to fly commercial rather than in a jump seat when they cross the pond.
