Diego Garcia

From a photoessay of eighteen "strange military bases" posted at Popular Mechanics.  The controversies and history of the island are summarized at Wikipedia.  If I had to be stationed somewhere, I wouldn't mind a locale with a huge central tropical lagoon.

    I've been to D'Gar - the wild chickens were somewhat annoying, but the crabs in the trees seriously grossed me out.
