Could this be not ended quickly with a carrier strike group and a marine ARG/MEU in about 72 hours? Why are we such pussies?

Pretty sure the hooties have gotten pretty good at hiding from Saudi recon, which means while the US could probably destroy a single launcher or two. but boots on the ground would have which purpose? to kill the guys manning launcher #1 or the guys wheeling up launcher 2-5, and the 150 guys driving down the road towards said launcher, then where those guys ate dinner, then where that dinner was raised, then the guys who served the dinner, and then .................etc etc.
Maybe park a precision strike battery hidden in southern SA, wait until one gets real-time intel on maybe a leader? and let um have it.

I agree somethings got to be done, but what I dunno?, the "civilized" world cant have morons firing ballistic missiles at civilian merchant traffic, I mean hey if they can do it there, why not anywhere else?

Egypt is doing nothing while Suez is of enormous importance for them.

And what about China, do they not want to be a superpower? Prove it.
