We have the most expensive military on earth, they say. That may be true, but it is also irrelevant.
Students recruited into the ranks of Yemen’s Houthi rebel group hold up automatic rifles as they shout slogans in support of the Palestinians and against the U.S., Britain and Israel during a rally at a university campus in Sanaa on Feb. 21, 2024, amid continuing battles between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The operation was supposed to be quick and easy. After all, the rag-tag Houthi militia was no match for the mighty US and UK navies. But it didn’t work out that way at all. Over the weekend the Wall Street Journal published a devastating article revealing that after spending more than one billion dollars on munitions alone, the operation had failed to deter the Houthis and failed to re-open commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
Meanwhile, the article informed us that a continued US effort to fight the Houthis over Red Sea shipping was “not sustainable.” Perhaps the most revealing part of the article comes from a Washington military expert, Emily Harding of CSIS: “Their supply of weapons from Iran is cheap and highly sustainable, but ours is expensive, our supply chains are crunched, and our logistics tails are long.”
