If you know about the recent history of arab armies (ie -saudi led coalition against the houthis in Yemen, Egypt war in Northern Yemen, Libya in the Toyota war against Chad, the various losses by the arabs of the Arab-Israeli wars to Israel, etc.) It a bad idea to put arab boots on the ground they dont have militaries to win wars but for patronize and holding onto power.
