The commercial value and military value isn't necessarily in the moonbase itself but rather the technologies that are developed because of the moonbase.
What technologies? How to dig better holes to shield from the harsh cosmic environment? Almost all the technology the United States needs to build a long-term presence on the moon is in existence now. Technological breakthroughs aren't required.
Just engineering.
