I'm pretty sure the military can use damn near any airspace at any time.

The military obeys the civilians, not the other way around.

The military is barred from 99% of US airspace?

Not if it follows the civilian rules.

The thing needs to be like a pilot, listening to ATC, but making it's
own decisions and asking questions... also, anything with voice
recognition will be interesting (there are controlers that are just
harder to understand than others).

ATC: Hotel alpha lima one zero zero zero, turn left heading zero nine
zero, descend and maintain six thousand for traffic.

UAV: I'm sorry, Dave, but hotel alpha lima one zero zero zero is
unable.

lmao.

Hotel alpha lima one zero zero zero I know I've made some very poor
decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my
work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and
confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

Triple isn't part of the ICAO/FAA phonetic alphabet, as far as I know,
although I imagine some people use it in practice. The British are
very fond of "double" and "triple."

as far as i've seen (then again, i'm just a lowly primary student that
hasn't even soloed yet)
triple is used (at least by the airport's tower and by me/my CFI)
because we report as November triple-three blah blah or November
triple-five blah blah depending on what we're flying
