Should military hardware be permitted to operate over the heads of
citizens in the CONUS?

Yes, just like GA and airlines should be permitted,

The airlines and GA do not operate hardware DESIGNED FOR MILITARY USE
over the heads of the US populous.

What is the difference between an airplane designed to carry guns
and bombs and an airplane designed to carry people and cargo?

Are military aircraft subject to the wings falling off in flight?

Is there some specific reason the military MUST operate their UAV over
populated areas?

I believe permitting the military to establish a precedent of training
over populated areas is not in the best interest of our citizens.

You are roughly 80 some years too late to "establish a precedent".

The US military has been training over populated areas since not too
long after the invention of the airplane.

Would it shock you to know that during the Cold War USAF SAC bombers
regularly did training bomb runs on most major US cities while USA ADA
missle sites trained to defend against such bomb runs?
