a military base on the moon with Earth as the target makes not the least bit of senseYou never read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", did you?
Stable launch platform, and you dont even need nukes, just throw rocks at 'em

true, and good book.
Nothing like utilizing the earths gravity well to propel moon rock to a velocity of ummmm 5 miles a second?
Resulting in a thermonuclear event sans the lingering radiation.
There's just that pesky problem of catapulting those moon rocks over the gravity well...
