The National Park Service is sending so many officials out to shut down federal parks from visiting Americans that at this rate it might have to suspend furloughs if the government closure continues.

Two examples:

– At the World War II Memorial on The Mall in Washington, where veterans have been staging protests to keep it open, Washington Examiner’s Charlie Spiering reports that at least seven officials were dispatched Wednesday morning to set up a ring of barricades to block tourists from the memorial. That is two more than the State Department had in Benghazi a year ago on the night of the terrorist attack that killed four, including the U.S. ambassador.

– National Park Officials closed down the educational Claude Moore Colonial Farm near the CIA in McLean, Va., even though the federal government doesn’t fund or staff the park popular with children and schools. Just because the privately-operated park is on Park Service land, making the federal government simply its landlord, the agency decided to close it.

I don't get it..the WW2 memorial is just a small open square...what the hell is the point of dispatching personnel to close it off? It doesn't cost any money to walk thru it. Sounds like a political stunt to me. Haha what a joke this whole thing is

I don't get the point of these random closures..just saw an article where they are 'closing off' outdoor park areas...what's next, obama is going to send some goons to cordon off the fountain in central park and say' sorry no one can walk thru this small outdoor space anymore because of the republicans'...its like wtf that doesn't even have anything to do with government or spending
