That’s the lesson we learned from that period.

Without saying very much, I will say that a military base is largely a symbolic symbol of American power that yields no danger to its local communities. Without the logistics to support a movement they are compounds of people and equipment behind a fence. Let that sink in for minute. And see if you have an AHAH moment.
