Nonsense. Yemen is exactly where our leaders want us to be. It’s pretty much unwinnable, guaranteed to run as long as wanted/needed and in an actual “strategic” location. The only losses will come from the occasional missile strike on naval vessels and the special forces missions sent in to get those pesky insurgents.

Really a very nice “forever war” that will keep military budget dollars flowing for years or maybe even decades.

Except that we no longer have an unlimited supply of budget dollars to keep "flowing for years or maybe even decades".

We are almost at "Game Over" for the "Forever War". And we are losing. We will need to do something else quite soon. For now, we still have choices. They get fewer with the passing of time.

Maybe we should just "kill all the enemies, win the war, and go home". Or maybe we had best not go to war at all for a few decades. I am open to suggestions that do not include what we are doing right now. That is not working.
