Persons entrusted with firearms in the defence of their country should be allowed to carry (ie not on the loose) on their military base, yes. Even contractors who would have to go through a screening process should be allowed to carry as well.
It's not probably every base in the US, it IS every base. Why would you say they are gun free "for good reason", in light of this being the second shooting at fort hood, as well as the Washington navel yard shooting among others?

Seven years walking around Canadian and US bases I never felt like I needed to be armed.
