The biggest problem is that there is no solution that is both effective and also morally satisfying. The moral injury makes it very difficult to talk about effective solutions - which might include steps towards normalizing relations with Iran and other soft power interventions that would make people angry because they are not harsh enough.
Everyone should feel free to disagree, but think about the reaction to military interventions - more recruitment.
Unless this paradigm breaks very soon, Houthis seem favored to win. Pretty easy to win against a military which bogus morality won't let it harm you, its enemy.
We all know the US military can defeat the Houthis. But so far it hasn't used its capabilities. It warned and threatened endlessly, while the Houthis continued their campaign of naval terror.
Have you ever served in uniform yourself? Or do you just confidently proclaim barstool opinions based on what you've read here and there?
The real question is who is going to do anything about this, if any. Attacking some Houthi targets is just fighting the symptoms here. A direct attack on Iran seems much less likely and appealing. It would turn the proxy war into a real war. It seems the Iranians are quite successful at discouraging that sort of response.
Anti ship missiles are really 1930s tech, there's not necessarily much modern electronics involved.
These are more like howitzers with self propelled projectiles. These are much simpler than cruise missiles.
This is the reason they still exist, it's just easy to blame a single villain and call it a day.
