  1. Yemen was fighting the spectacularly incompetent so-called armed forces of Saudi Arabia whose nepotism and incompetence are famous among those tasked with attempting to train them. KSA has a culture of "face" which prohibits building competent forces (but not chopping up dissident reporters).

  2. Shipping companies are naturally parasitic and not just by their choice of flagging. OTOH this mission can be used domestically to justify increased Navy budgets which is far more important long term than this mission. The US is first and foremost a SEA power despite the Air Force getting all the press. When the Houthi press their luck that will greenlight destroying the Yemeni armed forces but not going boots on ground.
