However, some expensive training would have to be done across the state for liquor establishments, to be able to recognize proper military IDs and make sure it isn't a dependent. Also, what rules are going to be in place for Reservists/Guardsmen that are not currently on active duty for drill weekends or deployment? If this went through and they were allowed to drink while not on active duty, me thinks the Wisconsin ANG/ARNG and local reserve units will be meeting recruiting goals 100%+.
Third thought: For any active-duty installations in Wisconsin, what happens to the servicemembers that choose for one reason or another to keep the citizenship of another state? "Sorry Mike, can't go to the bars with ya, I'll rather be a TX resident and not pay state tax...". This type of situation also makes buying for a minor a very confusing area.

These are the two parts that struck me... the first because given the recent recruitment woes this would be a way to bolster at least the Guard numbers (though not exactly sure if it's the best method) - and finally what about out-of-state servicemembers stationed there? From the sounds of things it would be exclusionary and problematic to enforce immediately off-base (or on).
