How sad.

There is nothing you cannot stop with force alone.

Realpolitik.

What else you got in mind, Admiral ?

[Jonty30]

Sure you can.
Shoot 1. If that doesn’t work.
Shoot 10. If that doesn’t work.
Shot 100. If that doesn’t work.
Shoot 1,000.

Etc.

This type of statement has been a hallmark of flawed academic thinking for decades. The limiting factor when dealing with actors like the Houthis is not their willingness to take casualties, it’s our willingness (or lack thereof) to inflict them. To beat them, and we have the capability to do so, we must be willing to do this again:

DEI failures. They could glass the Houthis and I’m sure there are a lot less drastic measures as well. Just kill them.

[technically right]

Oh good Lord. Is there any way to resurrect admiral Bill Halsey. I’m sure he could find a way to deal with these amateur DB’s.

The most current American Rules of War probably inhibit the natural drive of a warrior to fight directly and with overwhelming force. Just like our neighborhood cops, their hands are often administratively tied.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

First things first please: can the Navy stop the Houthis from misgendering trannys? Can they stop the Houthis from dead naming trannys? This is mission number one.

[Democrat = party of treason]

Maybe send some Navy guys in skirts to go talk to them...

[Sparticus]

Take out their anti air defences and then level everything with the B52’s.

[CJinVA]

I’ll tell you what war is about, you’ve got to kill people, and when you’ve killed enough they stop fighting.

Wait’ll the Houthis get those hypersonic missile batteries from Russia that are TOTALLY not crewed by Russians...

Thank you, General Lloyd Austin. I’ve been waiting for you to provide your take on this. //

By the way,. Yesterday Aug 8th was Lloyd Austinns birthday.
He is now 71 years old. I have several ideas for a birthday gift, but, no need to talk about that now. We have bigger fish to fry! All in good time

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

We probably don’t even need to worry about attacking the Houthis. If they are operating from Yemen, make life difficult enough for the nation of Yemen that it will decide that it isn’t advantageous to have Houthis launching attacks from its territory.

Pussies!!!

The Leather Neck Marines of the past curse this stupid, weak, ineffectual, limp-wristed US Navy!!!

[zeestephen]

Solution...

Stop focusing on defense.

Hunt down and kill every man in the Houti leadership.

When the head dies, the body soon follows.

[Organic Panic]

Wow. Some 7th century goat herds defeated the most powerful navy in the world with some low tech missiles. So sad to see how low the liberals have taken us.
