The country is literally under siege, with tens of thousands starving, And Saudis are still getting btfo?

There was a nice photo reportage in the nyt the other day, you should check it out. Has an endless column of burned out armored cars of Gulf puppets. The blinders are suddenly off after the Khashoggi kerfuffle.

Saudis literally had to kneecap their military after the Iraqi, Libyan, and Egyptian kings were all overthrown by their officers.
Robert Carter
That can be expected, especially since in terms of operational conduct you for example cannot call upon airstrikes or artillery support via radio, but you would have to report to superior officers above rank of sergeant in person what leads to situation where you can have to wait for up to 60 minutes to get any kind of support. Secondly saudi officer core is filled with members of royal saudi houses leading to incompetent officers with little to no military training promoted purely on basis of nepotism. As for the rank and file, they are the worst kind of professional army since they completely lack in discipline and are more like highly paid civil servants than military personnel.
Juan Gutierrez
Yup, apparently you can buy your rank in the Saudi army. This also leads to bizarre situations where people buy into specialist roles and are unable to use certain weapons, which then get captured by Houthis who know how to use the weapons from experience and use them against the Saudis. This was how the Saudi capital came under missile fire from Houthis in flip flops a couple years back.
It's also why they can't advance, because the officer positions are all bought out by the royals.
Jace Mitchell
Yeah, also all of their equipment is built by foreign nations along all of their munitions. Rebels could effectively render the entire saudi forces useless with one modern submarine if they had it.
