Right, I'm saying the strikes are not achieving a change in behavior or capability. So, there is no impact in terms of what Yemen is doing whether US carries strikes out or not.

I guess I thought you meant the strikes were having no impact as in genuinely zero impact

I mean, I'm sure they're having impact killing civilians and destroying infrastructure in Yemen.

Missile firing infrastructure and capability is sorta the target. Luckily first civilian death was just yesterday and so far I think that's the only one.

If missile firing infrastructure is the target, then it's pretty clear that US is not capable of doing any meaningful damage to this infrastructure. Again, the original point was that US is unable to achieve its stated goals while Yemen is.

Yes, I just misunderstood it as a more literal "no impact" than what you were saying.
