Do I mean wings of F22s available to the USAF? No. Do I mean C130s delivering food where needed, or equipment, or evacuating people? Or Apaches or A10s (or O-1s or OV-10s or A37s) available for closer air support? Absolutely.
Completely agree with you there on what biofuel could mean for CONUS - and in the current situation in the US those kind of aircraft are exactly what they need - I doubt the Mexicans have a single decent aircraft they can put in the air that would require an F-15 or F-16 to take out but anti-armor/ground support/transport/para missions - hell yes those are exactly what is needed
