ULA uses expendable rockets. From an environmental perspective and also just a basic efficiency perspective this is a no-brainer.
If the Air Force were flying cargo across the country why would we want them to be using cargo planes that get destroyed after a single use?

  I can't think of any other remaining large solid rocket manufacturer in the USA, NG bought them all.

  They would have to admit that they were wrong to switch away from using the proven Aerojet-Rocketdyne AJ-60A boosters (developed for and still flying with the Atlas V family).
