The taking clause protects the land owners.
If the US does indeed utilize eminent domin, then the
land-owners are handsomely rewarded.
Such a position overlooks both the big picture and specific issues, though.

First of all, does the government have a right to eminent domain?

Second, why should this right be used to create military training grounds?
Would you deem this as the best way to use the land--better than Cafe Rebelion's intentions?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you (unless it costs
something).
