Does 'found in Iraq' mean that they were deployed on the front lines? There's thousands of WWII tanks to be 'found' in the US. Does that mean that in the event of a war with Ivan that they will be overhauled and sent to the front? There were WWII tanks left behind in the Middle East at the end of WWII that were used by armies there, mainly as trainers. WWII era tanks were used in many western armies through the 50's even up to the 70's, and some African nations still use T34's and T54's. T55's are still in service in many armies worldwide as second echelon tanks. Admittedly, against modern armor they are coffins on tracks, but they still shoot and drive, so they are going to be used by someone.
