Lots of stuff gets cut from films because the reality is too unbelievable: http://www.cracked.com/article_19999_5-true-stories-cut-from-movies-being-too-unrealistic.html

TomC - what didn't look right to you? If the documentaries you've seen have been predominantly filmed in Helmand, the terrain is somewhat different than Kunar province where the operation took place! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunar_Province

Yeah I didn't think it looked right but I guessed that East Afghan must be different to Helmand Province and the southern areas. When you compare the photographs of the real Red Wings guys in Bagram it looks quite different.
