Biden's letter to Congress reaffirms continued US support for the Saudi-led coalition
In a letter addressed to Congress earlier this week, President Joe Biden confirmed that the US has deployed troops to Yemen with the aim of battling extremist groups and continuing military support for the Saudi-led coalition. "A number of American military personnel are deployed in Yemen," the US president said, "to conduct operations against Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and ISIS, as well as providing military advice and information to the Saudi-led coalition." According to Biden's letter, the US military will continue to work "closely" with "partner regional forces" in their operations against Ansarallah.
The letter adds that the US military presence in Yemen is "to protect US interests by providing air and missile defense capabilities and support the operation of United States military aircraft," but stressed that the US role in the country is "non-combatant" and is for "defensive purposes." by News Desk

Your tax dollars at work. Cheers.
It's a perfect instance of perpetual warfare. The heavily mechanized north battles sandal-wearing mountain men of the south who know the terrain like the back of their hands. (Sound familiar?)
This particular war has been merrily chugging along fort almost a century. It's an extension of sectarian, dynastic and tribal feuds that reach way back into the stinky medieval past.
Just the cozy place for Uncle Sugar to stick his big schnozzle.
