To those who say Hadi is the elected president of Yemen to justify the invasion on Yemen (hypocrites in my eye):
A presidential election was held in Yemen on 21 February 2012.
Acting President Abd Rabbuh Mansur al-Hadi was the only candidate in the election. He was sworn in as president of Yemen on 25 February 2012 in the Presidential Palace.
With a reported 65% turnout, Hadi won 99.8 percent of the vote.
Yemeni presidential election, 2012 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maybe compared to Saudi standards, this is called a genuine election, but you guys can't fool everyone around. And they dare to call Assad's election a fake one hence calling him illegitimate. This is the most ridiculous thing. One of their excuses is that Hadi is the elected president and Houthis are Iran's agents. But since rules of jungle apply in the world, Hadi is a fully legitimate president, even according to U.S 'democracy'. Now they have invaded Yemen to save the 'democratic' president, not to mention Saudis' love for freedom of expression and democracy.
This 'elected' leader officially asked foreign nations to invade his country, what a patriotic leader indeed, he doesn't even look like a stooge and he dares to call Houthis Iran's puppets.
This is surely not for an elected leader, not for Yemenis and not for protecting freedom, it's only and only for keeping a good servant in the chair.
And for those Pakistanis who think their country should support Saudis because a Houthi attack on Saudi holy sites is imminent or to protect 'holy lands' (which is a huge lie). You just can't 'defend' an invader and you are not 'defending' Saudis here from anything. If your country helps them, it's only and only because they are Saudis, you surely are not defending anything 'holy', you are simply supporting foreign invasion on a sovereign nation. So please if you at least want to defend this operation, come up with some proper excuses.

What are the excuses Iran Give to support Syria ?
1. We have defense agreement to protect it;s territorial integrity
1.25 Hautis if capture border areas adjacent to Saudi borders will try to to repeat/revenge 2009 war. This is where Pakistan comes in, The mountain warfare. Divisions/units excelling in will be posted inside Saudi Arabia along yemen border not inside YEMEN. I don't know why you and all the other Iranis confuse these things and consider Pakistan will deploy army in yemen. Pakistan has obligation because of defense and security pacts to defend saudia in areas where they are lacking.
1.5 So if Pakistan has similar defense agreements with Saudia as of Iran-Syrian agreements why suddenly it becomes excuses, hugh lie, they are saudis that's why we are helping them or similar taglines become prominent ?
2. Syria revolution is not succeeding because Syrian people are with Bashar ul Assad. If they are then why Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, Afghan militias helping assad instead of those so called supporters which suppose to be in millions ?
You are right about the border area between Yemen and Saudi being mountainous and quite difficult.
But I do not think NLI units of Pakistan will be effective there.
For the reason that these units of Pakistan have alot of Ismaili and 12er Shias who have most sympathies with local population of Yemeni Zaidis and Saudi Ismailis and quite at odds with Saudi policies and Takfirism. In fact one reason, Pakistan has been using such units against Takfiri forces inside Pakistan, is because the high command does not have to worry about soldier's loyalty and dedication to war when the other side is also shouting AllahuAkbar. As per General Timazi's book, Profiles of Intellgence, Pakistan even did not dare to post Shia diplomats in Saudi Arabia for the fear of angering Saudis, so I do not think Saudis would be very happy if you try to move units there which have alot of Shia components in them. For such a task, may I recommend to you, some units like the ones commanded by Brig. Ziaulhaq in Jordan who was extremely successful in mincing Palestinians into absolute submission. There was never to be another Palestinian uprising in Jordan.
Please remain advised though, that the Zaidis are a much harder nut to crack. They are the only Arabs who were never subjugated and colonized. Whether by Ottomans, by British or by anyone else. They have lived free for too long to be put into cage. Specially into a Saudi cage. Palestinians by comparison were extra-ripe plum.
You are wrong, Utterly wrong. Making assumptions, weird and made up facts, lot of imaginary assumptions presented as universal truth. Why is that you have to see everything from sectarian angle ? Can't you take those sectarian glasses for one moment so your objectivity and clarity in argument becomes vivid ?
First of 12 NLI has the most extensive mountain warfare experience starting from Kargil war in 1999. That's why pakistan uses them. For their ability not for their sectarian affiliations and you are totally wrong about their strength being mostly Shias. As we speak. Pak-Saudi just conducted Mountain warfare exercises.
I have read Profile of Intelligence. you are way off the mark once again. Either you are deliberately distorting facts or you didn't paid close attention while reading those chapters. The contention was Shia Trainers for Saudi Army, they asked us not to send them. Zia ul haq on the advice of Brig.Tirmizi rejected those ideas.
Once again you are comparing apple and oranges. Comparing Urban warfare of Zia ul Haq in Jordan with Mountain warfare. So I won't comment on this ignorant remark because you don't have all the facts.
We got nothing to do with Zaidis being tough nut. Pakistanis boots if ever lands on Saudi soil would be for defending Saudi yemen mountain borders. Not for subjugating Zaidis. Zaidis may be tough nut to crack but they can;t hold mountain or areas close to saudi border for long. So rest of your rhetoric is way off the mark because you don't really have an idea about in what context Pakistani soldiers will be deployed.
