In such cases, the Curtis LeMay method is the only suitable one. Vlad Tepes knew.

Two MASSIVE long term Air Attacks from land and sea aircraft from Israel, America and Arab allies Against Iran. How did that work out?
The Curtis LeMay effects of all the bombing in Vietnam accomplished exactly what?
While years of Air bombing did damage Germany it was the Soviets eating up the best of the German Wehrmacht for 3 years before D day.
Actually, could anybody point out where our most famous quote from this General has actually won anything?
GROUND POUNDERS win wars. But the terrain and general lack of interest in massive body bags prevents a serious invasion.
Pretty much. And the houthis are engaged in guerilla warfare, which we are I’ll equipped to fight against. Especially when the guerillas have missiles that are capable of decent targeting accuracy. We lose against them corn the same reason we lost against Afghanistan; tactics and geography.
Well, and the lack of fortitude to pound them with a ground invasion, which would never be tolerated by the soft American society we now have. Since we are facing an enemy that cannot be knocked out by air superiority and gee whiz tech, we are cooked. Because we will not commit what is actually needed to have a shot at “victory”, although a victory won at such a massive cost in lives would be no victory at all, I suspect.
