there is a bit of a point there. its perception. not that we cant afford a 42 million dollar inaugural, but when set against the lanbdscape of reports of underprotected troops, well it isnt a PR battle thats going to be won on the homefront, thats all.

"Underprotected troops". Oh, geez. Last year it was the weak supply lines and now it is soldiers having to use "bits of metal" as shields. Welcome to the war zone. Something will ALWAYS not go perfect in war. The US has occupied a capital and a country halfway around the world for over a year with a historically minimal loss of life.
Soldiers in every war in history have had to deal with discomforts. You know, like the guy next to you stepping on a landmine.
