Where were they when we needed them most?
They were fighting against the Nazi-led coup in Iraq...
which kept Axis allies from moving further East into Iran (a plan they actually had in an effort to link with the Japanese further East)....
where we had set up massive shipping facilities and rail lines to pump U.S. trucks and lend-lease war materials into the Soviet Union....
which made their massive land offensives in the East possible...
which drained German personnel and resources from the West....
which saved GI lives on D-day and helped ensure the success of Operation Overlord.
