#2 Just to put this in perspective, my research into Latin American troops provide only one entry about El Salvador troops in WWII. According to that source, the nation sent 36 men and three officers to Europe as part of an artillery platoon. Brazil's commitment to Europe consisted of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force, a brigade-size element of about 7500 men. We could use such a commitment in Iraq.
