Funding? They were not denied more security because of funding, it was denied due to ineptitude. In their last days, they didn't need more security guards, they needed a Destroyer with a squad of Marines to come get them. That was not sent because of timidity, not wanting to hurt any Islamist. Use of Destroyers and Frigates in this role has been standard operational procedure for over 200 years of the US Navy history. Read, The six Frigates and learn when it began. You might be surprised to fined it began at Benghazi. Of course this is just US Navy history, tradition and tactics were lifted whole from the British Navy except for a few changes in terms, like Larboard and Starboard became Port and Starboard for command clarity. A few more changes of this caliber.
