Saudi Arabia has a real problem.

The USA army are no longer the foot soldiers for the Saudi kingdom.

That presents a serious problem:  the Saudi army is soft and untested. They aren't ready for contact. They haven't suppressed Yemen and Yemeni militias consist of squabbling groups.

ISIS is not.

The Saudi army is on the defensive.

ISIS is not.

The Saudi army has torn allegiances amongst Sunni and Shia sympathies.

ISIS is not.

If the kingdom wants to survive, it should hire American veterans of Iraq to fight ahead of their own army. The people of Saudi are sympathetic to ISIS just as they were sympathetic to al Qaeda. They already live in a dictatorship, so they are just as likely to prefer a religious one.

Any Saudi defeat would trumpet the death knell of the kingdom.  Those ISIS vipers they have lain with are ready to move into Riyadh. Saudi Arabia cannot allow any more victory to ISIS.

I am sure some noble  American veterans would like nothing more than to treat ISIS to their own harsh treatment.
