We know that military bases, like anything else, can inspire savvy businesspeople and many private businesses crop up near military bases. In Okinawa I hear there are many shops, bars and restaurants with US military men as intended customers.

These are off-base, but near base. Do those that choose to live and work near military bases take on any responsibility in case the base is attacked?

In other words, if you choose to live or work near a military target, are you responsible or partially at fault if you are hurt or killed if the base is attacked?
