I know today a lot of military bases allow almost anyone with a valid Drivers/ID License enter a Military Installation. Do you think it should strictly be for Military affiliated personnel and civilians. I know for a fact that civilians come on post to get gas and leave that kinda aggravates me.

I've never seen this myself. I always have to vouch guests onto base, and every person in the vehicle gets ID checked.
Is it an Army thing?
I do agree that only the necessary people be allowed, for security purposes.

Yes in some army bases you can get on post with your Driver's License and insurance

I think a veteran should be able to visit and see public areas (especially if he served at that base). A copy of his DD214 should be required as well as current picture ID. For bases like Fort Riley that have special museums the rules need to be more relaxed. Perhaps two levels of visitor vehicle passes, one for specific destinations, and one for more general but still public areas...

Vetrans are DoD affiliates. They are not the ones in question. Your active/retired or dependent military ID is the only thing that should be required.

They should not be allowed on the base for any reason. It's not an amusement park or public venue. It's a secure area that is home to our military. If you are not a relative of the service member or DoD Civilian you should not be allowed access to any base regardless of the reason.
