Headscratchers / Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys

• Why did the military decide to make Gamera a priority? I get it, he caused a lot of death and destruction killing the Gyaos...but the Gyaos are confirmed to be capable of wiping out an entire civilization that was more advanced than humanity. Then Iris, a known maneater who's actively hostile towards humanity, shows up...and they decide to fire on Gamera while he's in the midst of fighting Iris, who was heading directly for a populated area. Are the military suicidal? I'd understand if they'd played up the idea that Iris' cult was responsible for this, but I think I missed that if they said anything about that.
  • It's mentioned that everyone is aware Gamera is slowly growing less and less attached to humanity, and more feral and aggressive as a result. Iris wiped out a village, but hardly anyone is even aware Iris exists when Gamera is shot down. Meanwhile, Gamera destroyed a large swath of a major metropolitan area during his last bout of Gyaos exterminating. A lot of powerful people are probably calling for the turtle's head.
