Maybe karma for what the US did to the Marshall Islands? [0][1] I'm surprised the government doesn't approach any preexisting military base with suspicion and caution considering its own history of contaminating grounds with military activity. To this day military bases across the US have contaminated groundwater from the relatively benign activity of using firefighting foam. [2] And that's in the US where there's supposedly an EPA and oversight of such things. At this point any grounds having experienced significant military activity should be presumed contaminated.
