I think there is a grave threat to national interests revealed in this latest news. It reports that the current war in Yemen has just gotten more complicated. I think ... am not sure ... that we are on the side of the 'legitimate' government there, supported by our good friends the Saudis, who are fighting people called the 'Houthis', who are supported by the Iranians. Well, that seems pretty clear: a modern, liberal Middle Eastern democracy supporting another modern liberal Middle Eastern democracy against the wicked Iranians, whose country is ruled by a hereditary monarchy where they don't even let women drive, much less vote. (I think I've got that right ... pretty close, anyway.) Now the Good Guys seem to have had a falling out among themselves, which will benefit the Who-theys. Should we put in the 82nd Airborne to support the Good Guys?
We should consider troops in US cities where the local government is not guaranteeing their basic human rights, like the right not to murdered as collateral damage in gang warfare.
Let the Saudis and Iranians work it out or let the UN get involved if necessary. The US has bigger fish to fry.
I say we back out until they decide an eventual winner over there, then deal with whoever that turns out to be.
