    In the first Gulf War it was out of necessity. Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khafji

    Even today, other than wealth, Saudi Arabia is a much smaller country than Iraq with half its population -Saudi Arabia’s population figures are inflated since over 40% are foreigners-. In 1991 Iraq was much stronger, and much more self sufficient, it could have taken Saudi Arabia in days if it weren’t for the coalition forces.

      That’s not inflated, they’re still part of the population…

        Maybe they don’t count temporary residents like students and foreign worker permit holders?

        Also can they likely can’t be drafted / join their army?

          Yeah I guess they wouldn’t be given dog tags or a gun etc, they’d just be given a shovel or similar 😅
