Bad move.
The Saudi air force has been bombing across the border for some time now. We can provide them with intel, satellite recon and all manner of military niceties. But when planes marked U.S. Air Force or U.S. Navy take an active role, we’re just asking for more trouble.
Personally, I don’t think we should have gotten our hands dirty by taking a direct role. Why bother, when our “friends” are already doing the dirty work?
Just my two cents.
I think this move is a message to Iranian regime than a need to help the Saudi.
Though, the Saudi people can hardly wipe their own asses without the help from their imported slave labor.
