Famine..

 

During the presidency of Barack Obama, the United States began providing Saudi Arabia with critical support to "sustain" the Saudi Arabian–led intervention in the Yemeni Civil War

 US Navy has actively participated in the Saudi-led naval blockade, which humanitarian organizations argue has been the main contributing factor to the outbreak of famine in Yemen.

The blockade has contributed to the current famine in Yemen, which the United Nations said may become the deadliest famine in decades. The World Health Organization announced in 2017, that the number of suspected persons with cholera in Yemen reached approximately 500,000 people.  
In 2018, Save the Children estimated that 85,000 children have died due to starvation in the three years prior. (Wikipedia)
Comment: Is that true? Is that Legal? Is that what is expected from our military? 
Human rights!!!?     Just a thought.
