That’s great but this incident still wasted tax dollars nonetheless

the money was already wasted, this incident didn't waste shit. all that happened was the money being spent on this particular weapon has been ended. in the long run, it probably saved the taxpayers some money.

and quite frankly, if the US government wants to shoot down its own military hardware, then by golly we should let them. the fewer weapons a fascist terrorist regime has, the better.
