* HilariousInHindsight: Tommy gets into an argument with his dad, who believes that his son spends too much time playing video games since he returned from Iraq. A few years later, ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2'' came out, which has a sequence set in Afghanistan which seemingly recreates the basketball game and fateful ambush that Tommy and his fellow soldiers experienced in Iraq. Tommy himself also physically resembles Alex Shepard from ''VideoGame/SilentHillHomecoming'' down to his similar haircut, facial features and wardrobe.

* ColdSniper: The first shot of the ambush is fired by an insurgent armed with a sniper rifle. His target of choice? One of the plentiful American soldiers? Nope, the ''Iraqi'' soldier!

* BoobyTrap: An insurgent drops a hand grenade with the pin pulled when he's shot. The soldiers barely managed to dive clear before it goes off.
* GrenadeLauncher: One of the soldiers in the squad has an M203 grenade launcher slung under his rifle. Doesn't do him much good in the end though.
* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: During the ambush scene, one soldier is shown returning fire on insurgents with an M136 rocket launcher, but is holding it ''backwards''. Also, several [=M2HB=] heavy machine guns are seen mounted on humvees nearly flush with the roof of the vehicle in a way that's never done on real military humvees.
* HandGun: Col. Marsh is armed with an M9 Beretta pistol as his sidearm. While officers do carry pistols, it would have made more sense for him to have had a rifle to defend himself when off-base.
