The movie going public is not going to pay to watch guys doing sentry or OP duties, nor sitting in a bunker for an hour and a half during rocket attacks. I am not sure you will be able to capture in a movie the apprehension that a soldier would have felt in the back of a LAV stopped somewhere. Guys I talked to say they never felt so helpless about their destiny in all their life.
As I said before, I agree with you that the story line might be a little far-fetched, but I can't see anything better coming any time soon. For me, it was worth the admission just to see some of the (limited) sights and sounds I experienced in KAF. I doubt I will ever have a chance to be there again.
