I believe the closest you can come to real combat is Arma 2 &3.  Still along ways away from what I imagine real combat like

Oh and Junger's documentary "Restrepo" should be mandatory viewing for anyone even remotely interested in warfare.

That's a pretty good representation of combat in Afghanistan. I'm actually friends with the PLT RTO Pemble-Belkin...he's actually a Staff Sergeant now, he doesn't talk about Restrepo at all.

I found that Armadillo was more stopping than Restrepo. It showed among other things, capping wounded insurgents after the fight.
