yep, you can buy a used missile silo, air base, whatever.
f i had that sort of cash, i would buy one in a second.
most bases include a township with shops, houses, hanger and all that you would expect from a base.

its a trap, whoever buys it will be deemed a terrorist and the US will claim to have captured a major terrorist cell in what ever country..... that or someones having a go...

but imagine the ebay bill just for listing a $1.5mil item, even if he is legit thats a bit to pay if no one believes you

So you buy one of these places, a new world war starts, the US Gov't reclaim your newly fitted ou under ground love shack and use it for blasting missiles??

Not so attractive for me unless I knew they'd pay me well. Real well.
