Using military flights the same way we transport soldiers around the globe is therefore...not all that different than what's already always been done, except this time Columbia decided to raise a stink about it *and* refuse some flights while they were already downbound.

Yeah - because countries will allow civilian aircraft to enter their jurisdiction all the time, but are usually very particular about when they allow the military of a foreign government to enter their airspace.

As opposed to starting a diplomatic row over the seat class provided by the US government?

Again, I'm waiting for you to provide an example of when the U.S. was just fine with letting a foreign government substitute in a military aircraft in lieu of a civilian aircraft. That's not a "seat class" issue - countries will not typically allow a foreign country's military aircraft to operate in their airspace over their objection.
