Haha, your ground war in Iraq was a smashing succes! Bankrupted your country, made the ENTIRE world hate the US and cost you 5000 soldiers. How was that a succes? Tell me please thank you
that was an occupation and fighting an insurgency. will houthis do the same???
the world has hated us before the war and they will hate us long after.
10 year war and only 5,000 martyrs compared to the 100,000+ plus enemy killed I would say that's a success, but this wasn't a war you could just win by just occupying and policing it.
what is and will happen in Yemen should play out a little differently for one the invaders will be a Muslim coalition lead by the country with Islams most holy places.
and they don't care about reducing civilian death as you can already see.
There has never been an insurgency. Hadi's presidential term expired in January and failed to leave office. Houthis arrested him and made him resign in front of the Yemeni parliament.

I'm sorry dear? 100.000 dead insurgents? NAH. Check up some statistics, at best 20.000. IED IED IED!! And there was nothing you could do about it. Dumb, pointless war. I actually like Americans.

100,000 plus enemies? What are you smoking?
Tell me what did the United States achieve by fighting that pointless war? Over 6,000 dead American soldiers, thousands more disabled physically/mentally that will be supported by American tax payers for the rest of their lives, trillions spent and the end result nothing but your tails between your legs. Let’s not even begin to talk about the moral implication of what you did to the Iraqi people. Which you probably don't even care.

Saudi Arabia has ordered its elite National Guard to prepare to take part in the country's ongoing campaign against Houthi militants in neighboring Yemen. Saudi King Salman is reportedly preparing to send the ground force to participate in the military campaign, signaling a potentially sharp escalation for what has so far been an aerial operation.
If the National Guard is sent to Yemen, it will mean that the Saudis are sending one of the Middle East's most efficient tools of internal control — and even internal oppression — into Yemen's intensifying war. Given the Guard's size and operational abilities, their deployment to Yemen would signal a huge shift in the conflict.
The Saudi Arabia National Guard (SANG) has foreign training, state-of-the-art-equipment, and a free hand to operate throughout the country. It's also considered to be unquestionably loyal to the country's royal family.
It has as many soldiers as Saudi Arabia's army and navy combined, and makes sure that a geographically vast and potentially fractious country of over 29 million remains under the monarchy's full, despotic control. According to Chris Harmer of the Institute for the Study of War, the SANG is one of the Middle East's most capable armed forces.
The National Guard has roots dating back to before the founding of Saudi Arabia. The group originally started as the Ikhwan (brotherhood), a force of tribal Bedouins that supported the ruling House of Saud and its conservative religious ideology in the early 20th century. The Ikhwan held absolute loyalty to the first Saudi king Abdul Aziz. The tribal structure of the Ikhwan was later modernized and the force was turned into a more conventional national guard.
The SANG's tribal connections and organization allows the force to serve as a counter-weight to the official Saudi military which operates under the Ministry of Defense. Instead, the SANG reports directly to an appointee of the king.
This allows the king to effectively have his own military force to use against internal or external threats as he sees fit.
Although the SANG is based on tribal ties, the force is highly trained and effective. It has proven its capabilities by keeping a vast country under the full and unquestioned control of one of the world's most authoritarian governments, and by engaging in military operations outside of Saudi Arabia as well.
The SANG, whose present-day forces are pictured below during a military demonstration, first began to effectively modernize and train in 1975 with significant help from the Vinnell Corporation, an American defense contractor. The training emphasized counterinsurgency operations and was carried out by a force of 1,000 US Vietnam veterans.
The modernization of the SANG is a continuously ongoing process, as the force routinely seeks to purchase airframes, armored vehicles, and weaponry from the US.
The UK also sends an estimated 20 training teams to Saudi Arabia a year. These teams have instructed the National Guard in the enforcement of public order, the use of sniper rifles, and field-craft training.
During the first Gulf War, the SANG participated in the Battle of Khafji in Saudi Arabia. The group helped drive the Iraqi Army out from Saudi Arabia, and then continued participating in the coalition offensive into Kuwait. This photo shows SANG troops deployed during the conflict.
The Saudi National Guard is one of the best-equipped and most competent armed forces in the Middle East.
In total, there are an estimated 100,000 troops in the SANG, which is more than Saudi Arabia's army and navy combined. And they are apparently trained to do things like load rifles blindfolded, as during this military demonstration.

Iran forces ,operating in Iraq ? I wonder you are high on what . In Iraq its Iraq army and Iraqi people who fight against the
terrorists . not Iranian who are fighting and killing Iraqi people.
and never try to put us and KSA in the same light . For the example we can boast of not attacking another country for 200
year while all KSA can boast about is not attacking another country for just less than 24 hours.
