Why are there more guards at the closed WWII Memorial than there were guarding Benghanzi?

Something seems really wrong here. Why are there more guards not letting peace loving Americans into a WWII Memorial (that the RNC says it will pay to keep open ( http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/02/rnc-offers-to-pa... ))

than there were guarding the US Benghazi Embassy when there were "credible" reports of impending violence against it?

Update:

To "Mujer Alta:" I applaud your demonstration of whimsical, youthful, exuberance. My three of four years active duty Army enlistment overseas did award me opportunities to witness political unstableness and get shot at. Nevertheless, thank you for telling the world exactly what kind of person you are and why I am so very much different from you: You are one of those whom is comfortable running away (leaving your buddies behind to be tortured and killed) using an alias (an illegal act) to enter foreign countries (again, illegally) to enjoy your Canadian football.

    As he did with the "sequester", Obama and his goons are determined to "make it hurt" the public to try to put pressure on Republicans to cave in to his demands. Let us hope Republicans stand firm, and make sure the voters know it is the liberal democrats responsible for closures and shutdowns. BO and the rest of the liberals are more concerned with controlling the public than they are, or were, with protecting Americans in Benghazi, or anywhere else. The average American is irrelevant to this administration. They are relying on minorities, illegals, and guilt-ridden whites to keep them in power. Unless it is to their advantage, you can count on being "thrown under the bus" with this gang.

    I'm guessing that you've never been overseas and, for sure, have never been to a politically unstable part of the third world. Benghazi was Chris Stevens' call. He didn't have to be in Benghazi. Stevens wasn't an idiot, wasn't mentally deficient and was very capable. He was an expert in the area and took a risk. I'm sure you probably don't know what a real risk is either. Crap happens when you're an American overseas - which is why most of us Americans who've been there on American diplomatic passports have Canadian aliases. Your turning Benghazi into just another political football - besides telling the world that you know nothing about North Africa - insults Chris Stevens' life and devalues his death.

    It appears that if the word got out that the Americans vets were coming at Benghazi he would have sent troops to keep them out
