A Lesson to Everyone: Buy Insurance

B-2 Spirit - Courtesy USAF According to the wire services, a B-2 Spirt stealth bomber has crashed in Guam. Both pilots are reported to have ejected safely and are under medical observation at this time.

This is a substantial loss for the United States Air Force. Not only does the B-2 cost $1.2 billion dollars, but there are only twenty-one B-2s in existence.

I think we the people will see a new funding request. I don’t think it will be granted.
