* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: [[spoiler:Beckham is presumed to be dead after James finds a blood covered body of a little boy that the bombers killed to put a bomb in his body. After a failed RoaringRampageOfRevenge, Jmaes finds out that the kid is ''very'' much alive when he approaches him a few days later; the traumatized James is too upset to respond, so he leaves in a Humvee without saying anything.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: The scene where James equipped with a hidden pistol and civilian disguise, disappears from the base and enters an Iraqi home while seeking justice for [[spoiler: Beckham]], could easily spark to mind two incidents from the War in Afghanistan that happened a few years after the movie's release. Such as Bowe Bergdahl's desertion in 2009 and even more more so, Robert Bales' desertion and killing spree in 2012.
