20 Marines at Benghazi might have made all the difference.

However, there is a problem with “security” as the solution.

The attackers, by definition, get to choose where they attack. Therefore, if security is too tight at location A, they just divert to another less secure location.

IOW, it is not possible to secure all possible target locations heavily enough to prevent or repel attacks.

Which is not to say that the administration wasn’t negligent in this case, just that “security” is not the real answer.
