On the contrary. The US spends about $13B a year on fuel, most of it for the Air Force.

But even in the Army, there are 60,000 fuelers spread out over the active and reserve components. In 2001, 50% of what was moved, by weight, was fuel. By OIF 1 bottled water was right at 30% of the load.

We spend a hell of a lot of money on logistics.
