From AI:

Concentration camps were established as detention centers for individuals deemed a "subversive danger to the German race" by the Nazi leadership, according to the Holocaust Encyclopedia. They were designed to operate outside the normal legal framework, with incarceration rarely linked to a specific crime or trial. This was fundamentally different from the purpose of military bases, which were for housing, training, and deploying military personnel.

Trump is damaging national security and combat readiness by turning US military bases into concentration camps.
