But at $1.2 billion a pop, your steward of the national fisc might earnestly hope for otherwise:
A US B-2 stealth bomber - one of the world’s most expensive planes - has crashed for the first time on the Pacific island of Guam.
The jet crashed shortly after taking off from the island’s Andersen Air Force Base, but both pilots ejected and survived, the US Air Force (USAF) said.
Black smoke could be seen billowing from the site, witnesses said.
The B-2 bomber costs $1.2 bn and is capable of deploying both conventional and nuclear weapons.
Happy the crew got out. But “b” is a big number.
