You, and certain rightoid personalities, are inventing a risk out of thin air. There was no risk. Observing could give valuable intel, and shooting it down over water means they recover something much more intact. If they recover biological or chemical weapons or anything else, I'll be happy to eat my words. But do you really think the CIA doesn't have reliable intel telling them more or less what it's carrying? They tracked it from China for fricks sake. And this isn't even the first time apparently.

Well that's a rightoid talking point. The military didn't see a point in shooting it down over land. What the heck do either of us know to question that decision?

it looks cucked to outsiders (civilians like us), its bad optics. Its true that military has information we don't but its still fair to criticize them just like you normally criticize the government

It really isn't. They've been jamming it's communications. There was nothing to lose by waiting to shoot it down.

Imagine believing the r-slurs behind the Afghanistan withdrawal know what they're doing or that they aren't just lying to cover up for their incompetence.
