Its weird with military bases. I used to work on one and got regular emails about scheduled EOD explosions, and somehow i never heard a single one.

It is possible they were there before the base is built so they do have a reason to complain.

But if they are complaining while benefitting from it(better access to amenities as a result) then yeah, they really need to be more realistic about their expectations and how the world works.

Here in Russia we used to have people complain about the military bases. But we fixed that problem.

Also:

1. People move near a racetrack.
2. People complain about the racetrack.
3. Racetrack gets shut down.
4. People complain about all of the lunatics racing on public roads.
