While Security is tight when such folks are in or around the Theater of Operations, I believe they all go by Military Transport into the Theater, except for the President and Vice President, which is still counted as a Military Aircraft, but one with more limited function, but it is the Presidents Aircraft to use as he sees fit, and the Troops do like seeing the CinC in Theater. As for the others, we have plenty of other Military Aircraft.
The worst part of it all is as you pointed out, thinking that they actually know something about the situation, and then come home and craft policy around what they think they know.
