After 14 years of bombing, the Houthis have doubled in size

They went from about 100,000 members to 200,000. Allow me to propose a radical solution: do nothing.

They have launched many attacks against ships but have only managed to sink two and kill four sailors. Ignore them. They aren't worth the over $1 billion the US has spent bombing them during Operation Rough Rider. 

Not only does it make the US look stupid to use so much military force to no lasting effect, but it also acts as highly effective recruitment propaganda for the Houthis.  

In the words of the great philosopher Hank Hill, it's like a tire fire. If you try to put it out, you just make it worse. The only thing to do is grab a beer and watch burn.
