They call me Mister Nuke. You, my fine acquaintance, may call me Mister Nuke. Welcome to the wonderful dystopia that is my user page. If you're here about something I may have done to upset you, do not waste your precious time sending me a message. I will not reply. There is a good chance it was not really upsetting and that you are angry over nothing. If it was a "big deal," then well, my bad.

Anyways, the point stands. Without the Sangheili, humanity would most definitely lost the war.
The Sangheili joined to save their own necks too. When the NOVA Bomb went off at Joyous Exultation and wiped out the majority of the Sangheili fleet, Thel had to convince Rtas to join with humanity to fight their common foe.
To the person saying that humanity deliberately led the Covenant to Earth, were this the case why would they spend decades using the Cole Protocol to wipe out a ship's NAV system that could lead them to Earth?
Very good point. And I know I keep saying this, but Reach was probably the MOST defended planet at that time (considering most, if not all, of the Spartans were there) and they got killed by, you guessed it, Sangheili.
