It's been done
Like I said, it's all mostly been silly GI Joe nonsense instead of actual conflicts the US is involved in, even in this Army recruitment tool. I think the 2012 Medal of Honor game that glorified bearded operator thugs was set in Afghanistan during the War on Terror, but I obviously never played that. There was also the cancelled game, Six Days of Fallujah that was talked about a lot specifically because it was set during an actual battle

Was uncancelled
Of all the cancelled games in the world why did this one have to come back
Blame Marty O'Donnell, the former Halo composer, who's a massive chud who apparently really wanted to see this terrible idea become playable.
lmao, this is what his game studio has amounted to?
Kinda funny seeing him going from palling around with Paul McCartney back when Destiny 1 was being made to dumpster diving this limp troop-fellating trash from the dustbin of history and being online 24/7, commenting on every Youtube video made about the Bungie Halos. The guy was so annoying that he even got banned from the fucking Halo subreddit (presumably before it was known he was a rabidly right-wing Facebook boomer.)
His studio is so successful it doesn't even have its own page on Wikipedia. I definitely remember people knowing or at least suspecting he was a chud at least as far back when Destiny 1 came out, since he had made a bunch of anti-abortion tweets.
I'm sure Gamers were more than willing to look past his "personal political opinions" back when it was less socially acceptable for them to just embrace them wholeheartedly
In old articles, interviews and blog posts on the Bungie website back from the Halo days the other devs would often talk about how Marty was by far the oldest and most conservative member on the team
Some people just cant even leave fictional arab civilians unkilled.
