    I wonder what the insurance excess is on one of those.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Excess might be a Court Martial?

    I was thinking "finger trouble" might be the common factor.

    Pilot "Oh so that`s what that red button does " Would have been a interesting debrief when he or she landed with some rather pointed questions. Back in the cold war days a American bomber accidentally dropped a nuke on US soil. Thankfully only the detonator went of. A few house got damaged but no one was killed.

    Traditionally in the posh regiments of the British Army the offending officer was shown to an empty office, handed a pistol with a single bullet, and told to do the right thing for the sake of the regiment.

    Oddly I think that would be civilized compared to Military prison. Two people I know who have first hand experience of Military prison mentioned this to me

    Dropping a fuel caddy or an itchy trigger finger when traveling at supersonic speeds could be excused in some ways
