if you have ever been to a military base, you'd realize just how little they are actually gaurded. there are sentrys at the gate. and thats about it. its basically the same as an other town or city with a police force.

I lived in military bases off and on throughout my entire childhood, and I think you really can't just ignore the sentries at the gate as well as the military police presence being equated to that of standard town with police.  We'll have to just disagree on this point, but I find it hard to think of a base where you have to show an armed guard ID just to get in as some hippy love-in where someone would expect to be able to attack without repurcussions.  

LOL how old are you, 15? When I entered the military most military bases were OPEN posts. Meaning there were NO guards or sentries or checkpoints to get into a base and even if there was a sentry they were glorified traffic cops as they basically looked to see you had a base sticker on your window and waved you through. Heck, Fort Bragg which is home to the 82nd, some Ranger and SF units and even Delta (though those guys had small gated compounds) had NO checkpoints to get around the base proper. The freeway terminated right in the middle of the base!

Not until 9/11 did military bases go to CLOSED. Even after 9/11 base security is really a joke. There are so many avenues of entry for someone with nefarious purpose to get onto base a wreak havoc. If not for the intermittent MP or SP patrol bases are just smaller versions of any cities 'security.'

And no you wouldn't be able to attack without repercussion but you could do a lot of damage before being stopped. There have been several of these types of incidents in the past. The naval yard and Fort Hood are only the most recent.

Fun fact, you can look up someone's age on here instead of just being a douche about it.  I'm 28, thanks for asking.  

The base I lived in in Germany always had checkpoints at the entrance that would not let you in unless you had a military ID.  I remember because we were warned not to go off of the base without one as it would be a chore to get back in.  That would be around 1995.

Honestly though dude, I'm leaving this conversation, and you can find someone else to talk down to.
