And there it is ... in Yemen, the Saudis are following the Iraqi example and abandoning weapons, vehicles, M1A1s and running ... the apparently vaunted huge army suddenly materialized (out from where it was hidden beneath some palace) is marching in formation - something it does well, but whose tactics and training are internal, having zero logistical support, and zero external expeditionary training - witnessed by many Yemenis.

But, lined up against another man they have proven throughout the centuries to run like the rabbits they are.
