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

This "military use" is the same purpose as many (dare I say most?) GA
flights: Sightseeing.

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

Do you know the specific reason for this specific training flight?

Your question can easily be changed to (and often is): "Is there some
specific reason GA planes MUST operate over populated areas?"

Had you bothered to examine the satellite image of the area in the
link I provided, you'd see that your assumption was erroneous.

It was your post, not my assumption, that listed the Ocala National Forest
as the likely termination point.

Why do you find it necessary to defend the military over the best
interests of the citizens of our noble nation?

The better question is: Why do you find it necessary to take every
opportunity to denigrate the military defending our noble nation?
