I wonder if, technically, the military can do that, unless they have a performance license from ASCAP or BMI? Wouldn't it be funny if the RIAA complained of copyright infringement?

Fair use applies here. No admission being charged, and there's no "entertainment" that enhances the aura of the establishment going on like Muzak playing in restaurants. So there's no need for a blanket ASCAP or BMI performance use license ;-).
