But was the US really fighting the Houthis to win, or we just had to prove to Saudi Arabia we were behind them?

We were basically just putting our guys out there as sitting ducks for the Houthis to take pot shots at them .

Houthis would shoot cheap ass s**t stick missiles that were barely able to hit a target at our ships with impunity and we would shoot them down with our most sophisticated multi million buck interceptors.

This allowed our enemies to get a very detailed performance data and emission profiles on our anti missile systems that the Chines, Russians and Iranians are finding very useful.

At the same time draining our inventories of super expensive multi million dollar a interceptor missiles that we are increasingly having finding the money to replace. This crap could have been ended pretty much overnight with a handful of JADAMs targeted at the Yemeni politicians and Houthi leaders who were the ones actually orchestrating the show

Instead we "retaliate" (in the rare instance we even try) by destroying the even more worthless launcher that fired the worthless s**t stick of a missile that took out at least one and probably multiple missiles of our front line interceptors. Heck we, had to send at least tow missile ships back to the States because they ran out of missiles and they can only be re supplied at port in the US. An the Biden morons call this a great victory for our side.

Our enemies are laughing their asses off at us for our stupidity and Biden Admin officials are probably getting big balances sent to their Swiss bank accounts by their Iranian buddies for enabling this travesty.

Kind of makes you wonder how many in the Biden admin are working for the other side.
