The caption on twitter is: If you are wondering why the Saudis aren't winning against the Houtis, here's why.

This is a Saudi soldier in combat. It is funny because, well, it's funny to see a "trained" soldier behave in this way. It is sad because this shows that at least some Saudi soldiers are not "into" this war and would rather be elsewhere...

Yeah, and I've often thought about the Italian Army in WWII, whose 'performance' was awful by any standards, those guys knew they had no skin in the game and acted accordingly. The Saudi nationals have proven mostly useless as have the African mercenaries they've employed to fill out their order of battle. Seldom has a ruling class gone to puss so swiftly, I am thinking of the Vandals in N Africa. They wouldn't last a week without NATO munitions.
