Because these countries share the same concerns we have towards Yemen and the Yemeni Government.

Maybe next time, first gather the forces, have a plan, and then attack a country. Rather than attack a country and then rush all around the world trying to get soldiers to fight for you.

Why USA can't fight alone ? Why it always need NATO ? What the hell is that 600 billion dollar budget for ?

Maybe next time, first gather more intel, have a read, and then comment. We had 10 countries coalition since day one. Now we have 2 more countries participating AND the U.N. on our side. That, my friend, is diplomatic power.

To create a false sense of "legitimacy" to its wars, so the idiot public can say, "Oh, 20 groups are joining the fight! So this means USA is in the right!"

Here are some of the countries that joined US in its attack against Iraq,
Estonia: 40 troops
Iceland: 2 troops (!)

How many of the multi-country coalition actually did any fighting? USA contributed 165,000 soldiers while rest were just a few hundreds at most. Most of these countries received some kind of incentive.

It's all fake projection to put a "legitimate" face on an obviously illegal activity.

Not everything USA does, needs to be copied by you guys. It seems the only thing the Saudis & their supporters are learning from the west are the worst parts.

Its not a coalition against Yemen but Iran. Try to get the bigger picture here. This is saudi way of saying that if you screw with us then you screw with us all. They also want to make a point that they are still leaders of Muslim world. Houthis are just an excuse.

I suppose they want to give a sense of legitimacy to their wars, + it helps logistically to have partner nations closer to the geographic area they are going in to.

You can bet your beard they won't be asking all of NATO to step in to deal with the juarez cartel in Mexico, though.

May none of them return home Inshaallah .

Seriously Inshallah please stop using name of God here. Try In the name of Khumyani which actually goes well with your statement.

What they are doing is dividing the whole muslim world along sectarian lines. With a huge budget and all the hardware they have, they could just go in alone and deal with it, unless of course they don't have the capability.

In modern times no countries fight wars alone and yes they are forming a big alliance mainly of Sunni Majority countries

Have you seen the fat saudi soldiers. They will die if they had to run ten meters and here they have to deal with guerilla forces who can literally serve them their own arse on a silver platter. You will hardly find any locals in their armed forces. Bottom line is that money cant buy these slugs some brains. They dont know how to fight it is just that simple.
