It's also a case of the sailors onboard the US Navy ships having to be successful everytime in their missile defence or intercept missions, while the Houthis only need to have one successful attack to sink a US Navy ship. It's unsustainable long term for the US Navy, one mistake and one of their ships is toast. The US has been forced to the negotiation table by the Houthis military actions.

Captain Hill says: "It's difficult to define winning and losing in this kind of conflict."

Definitely what military leaders say when they're winning.

Unlike the Houthis, they're away from home with few creature comforts.

Those Houti´s really have all the comforts, unlike American soldiers

austerity is sharing 1 dog among 5k people

There's 5000 Americans sitting on their asses for each one of these ships, and their job is to wait to be sunk. Beautiful use of resources. I love capitalism.

he replies that it's "hard to say".

The word is "no" and its fucking easy to say but Captain hill is a fucking douchecanoe who is scared his boss will get mad at him for telling simple truths.
