"The fact that they are now willing to give the discounts through the military base but not at the box office tells me that somehow they are afraid of repercussions from the anti-military left if they post with the other discounts that they are giving one to the armed forces as well." That "could" be it, but consider that this service has to be ran past the base commander and usually individuals like that make sure the people who are "supposed" to get services assigned for "Military Only" make sure exactly "that" happens.
Further, the service will be advertised ON the Base proper by way of arranging to have the discounts to be purchased their and of course the base commander will know that the AMC theater is reaching out to his soldiers. (we are talking Army here IIRC).
I would say it is more just sound thinking by AMC. I would not rush to assign nefarious dealings based on that bit of info alone.
