Biting the Bullet on Costs Beats Literally Contending With Bullets. Capitol Building, Afghanistan, Et Al.

Posted by HCN on Friday, May 21, 2021

When in January 6, 2021, a stark attack on the US Capitol Building occurred, although it's happened before, such in ripples of the War of 1812, and other incidents at other Capitol Buildings historically, that may have pointed to foretelling of a day it might happen again, the mainstream thought may have been that an attack post year 2000, is about as unimaginable as a snow falling in July in Washington.
July 4th celebrations are going to be tough to hold the normal 'as usual' way this year in the Nation's Capital and other locations, for two obvious reasons, COVID-19, and security concerns.
There is a dollar figure for maintaining security.
A suggestion, is bite the dollar figure, and strategize for as a lean a budget possible. 
Tranquility from anything resembling the January 6th event spoken of, does not have a dollar figure on it, in terms of a value. That is where the balance is drawn.
There is talk of at least two Republicans pushing back efforts for a special National Guard protective force. Solid, and cannot harp on it as a continuum, enough, solid substantiation why a pushback below all covers, not just under color, if under color, of budget, need be present.

-Vulnerabilities to the security of major symbolic infrastructure, can come through the form of politician rhetoric.
To make this point clear, the US Capitol needs to have solid viable protection at all costs, to include dollar costs.

--There's the subject of US possibly pulling out of Afghanistan, to what extent and so forth. What was seen through the girls school incident claiming the lives of about 60 in recent weeks, substantiates right then and there the military announcement by high ranking officials that maintaining some degree of presence is wise. 

There might be a dollar figure to get it all done, but the aftermath when the actions for protection and stability are not made, and something disastrous happens, the aftermath may far outreach in cost and value, the costs spent on common sense actions.

-Fighting over control of a stable government gone unstable in Afghanistan has been proven bound in the past three decades
-Over a dozen persons have been reportedly killed the result of roadside bombs in Afghanistan, earlier today.
