I think the director was not able to notice the lousiness of the dialogue because he doesn't speak the language.
Many mistakes are overlooked because there was no proper warzone expert to guide the director.
Losing a soldier in a warzone prompts a certain reaction from his group, it is almost consistent in each and every actual war casualty, it is very well represented in saving private Ryan and I didn't see it in any other warzone movie.
The relation between the different fighting groups in Iraq is not hostile at all, I am a witness to that.. Iranians and Americans were as good allies as they could be in that war.
It would have been a very good movie has it contained a proper ending, more side stories, a focus on the real humanitarian tragedy of the people involved especially the minorities and violated women. Negating such a subject as ISIS should take into consideration the REAL pain people suffered, and the responsibility or conveying the suffering in a historically accurate way is a major part in rating the title. Hence I give 3 stars to the producers for their BOLD step to try such a subject, 2 for the rest of the cast.
