    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.

      Pretty unlikely in most places in the west. Most military bases were established at the latest WW2 or shortly thereafter.

      I’m sure there are exceptions, but for the most part those bases have been there
