The U.S. military campaign against Houthi terrorists in Yemen has exposed the failures of weak leadership. Retired Major General Dana Pittard, a seasoned combat leader, bluntly stated that American airstrikes have been “relatively ineffective” at stopping Iran-backed Houthi attacks. This truth-telling reveals how Washington’s half-measures embolden terrorists while risking American lives.
For years, the Houthis terrorized global shipping lanes and attacked U.S. forces with impunity. Previous administrations hesitated to strike decisively, fearing political backlash. This weakness allowed terrorists to dig deeper into Yemen, building underground bases and smuggling Iranian weapons. American sailors watched as hostile missiles flew toward their ships.
President Trump changed the game. He ordered devastating strikes codenamed Operation Rough Rider, pounding Houthi missile sites, command centers, and Iranian supply lines. Over 900 airstrikes have decimated terrorist infrastructure. Trump’s message is clear: attack Americans, and we will erase you from the map.
Strong sanctions now cripple Houthi finances. The Treasury Department froze assets of the International Bank of Yemen, cutting off the terror group’s money pipeline. Houthi leaders can’t buy weapons or pay fighters without getting smoked by U.S. intelligence. Financial warfare starves the beast.
Results speak loudest. Over 100 Houthi terrorists died in recent strikes, including top commanders. Sixteen radicals were wiped out in a single raid on their hideouts. Navy pilots report secondary explosions as hidden ammunition stores detonate—proof we’re hitting the right targets.
Iran shakes in its boots. The regime thought it could hide behind Houthi proxies, but Trump’s strikes expose their weakness. Every destroyed missile launcher is an Iranian failure. Tehran knows it could be next if the attacks continue.
Patriots stand united. While weak politicians fret over “escalation,” real leaders protect American interests. General Pittard’s honesty highlights the need for Trump’s no-nonsense approach. Our troops deserve a commander-in-chief who lets them win.
Freedom isn’t free. The Houthis started this fight by attacking our ships and allies. Trump is finishing it with overwhelming force. Only strength deters terrorists, and America is finally flexing its muscles again after years of surrender.
