Why doesn't anyone talk about walkablility on military posts?

This is specifically referring to deployed locations because the bases in the US are still extremely car dependent, but some of the "deployment" locations are great for walkablility. I think there are two main reasons for this, one being that service members do not have their cars there since deploying them there is enough of a logistical nightmare and nobody wants to be driving HMMWVs all the time, and two being that they are forced to put everything you need in a small footprint because often you aren't allowed to go out into the city due to mission requirements, safety, your unit being lame, etc. I was "deployed" (I put that in quotations because this is in no way a combat deployment) to Kuwait this year, and the walkablility is great, even for being in one of the hottest places on Earth. You can rent a bike for free, people bought electric scooters to ride around on, you could easily get anywhere you needed to go on base in max 10 mins, with 95% of amenities within a 5 minute bike ride. This includes the chow hall, gyms, offices, recreation facilities, restaurants you could pay for if you wanted, etc. The highlight to me is how this felt more freeing in a lot of ways than having to drive a car in traffic, even when dealing with 120F + sandstorms blasting you in the face. Every day was just a two minute bike ride to my office. I just thought it was an interesting seeing that a lot of soldiers' first experience with walkable, bikeable infrastructure was on a deployment, generally considered a shitty experience. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.
