I suspect the Saudi military is all Pakistani, Filipino, and Egyptian...no one of Saudi background would do any of the dirty work...

Now let's see -- let's logic this thing out.

Saudis don't really need arms for anything -- who is their enemy? (other than the Jews). So maybe they are BROKERING arms for one of thier buddies, that nobody would sell to directly (with exceptions as we know) -- how about IRAN ??

Provocative thought!!!

That's true, the Saudi doesn't really have a military, they have mercenaries. That's why their spending more and more on short range missiles.

Arabs leaders WANT a weak military...it prevents potential coup attempts.

They spend billions on top quality armaments that rot in the sand.

They have nothing better to do with their money, and it gives them 'prestige.'
