#1 A couple of questions:

Are there manned drones? How are they different from military aircraft?

What is the ratio between the cost of the drone attack and the cost of the US' defensive measures?

Why isn't there any effort to permanently degrade or neutralize the Houthis' capability to engage in piracy and aggression in international waters (in flagrant violation of "International Law (tm)")?

#7 And the Okah. You have to respect in a twisted way the determination. Those guys weren't jacket wallahs going to murder innocents.
