I flew a couple of CRAF missions for the Marines during the build-up a few years back. Best flying I've done in the civilian world. About 300 heavily armed Marines, machine guns, sidearms, some sort of rocket launcher, and the cockpit door open the whole way to a European staging base. Those Marines were great. No whining, no businessman passenger "I'm Mr. Important. We'd better be on time!"

If you get a chance to do CRAF with troops, go for it.

I bet no towel-head, camel-jockey terrorists on that one
