Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes in Saudi Arabia after fighting from neighboring Yemen has spread into the kingdom. “Fighting has now spilled into Saudi Arabia, causing 240 villages to be evacuated and more than 50 schools to be closed, ” Sigrid Kaag, regional director of UNICEF. It is worrying, because the fighting may reveal the rottenness of the Saudi Armed Forces. The time may come that we will be arming and training the Saudis.

The Saudi armed forces probably are rotten by design in order to prevent them from overthrowing the monarchy.

Ronduck, You dont need a good army to carry out a putch. Some African coups were led by sargents with a platoon of faithful soldiers. Saudi society is rotten because they are so rich that they forgot to work and fight.
