Me thinks that you live in some fantasy world that only works in the
movies.  I being a veteran and a son of 30 year high decorated soldier
living on military bases most of my life know as soon as the first
post is attacked or the first soldier is downed by a illegal action
such as you are advocating... all military bases and personnel will be
placed on full alert status and total lock down of secured sites such
as our nuclear silos, Norad, ammunition sites.  You show how little
you know about the US military and it operations on or off base.  The
military has trained for terrorist strikes from within our own
borders.   May I remind you what happened during the Civil War?  The
Union Army won over the Confederacy, why because the Union Army was
better trained, better and bigger guns... go live in you fantasy world
and try to attack a military base or position.   You will not survive.
