There is no message in it. At all. It doesn't glorify anything, doesn't make anything cool, doesn't try to propagandize the audience, it is a look into the life of a combat soldier in Iraq. If it sends any message at all it is "war is a waste."
Are the protagonist presented as mostly white red-blooded Americans?
Are the antagonists sandniggers?
Are the whites subject to the degrading slut walks and DEI horseshit, or are they presented as having brotherhood and comradery?
Do the protagonist eventually manage to extract or are they wiped out to a man and then paraded around?
Is the military presented as competent, with every man working together towards a combined goal, or is it presented as a political quagmire of "Up or Out" and brownnosing?
It doesn't need a "message" like Full Metal Jacket or Apocalypse Now to be propaganda.
I've seen it. You obviously haven't.

Yes, with some Iraqi soldiers accompanying them
Yes, because it is Iraq
Yes, the brotherhood formed in combat is the point of the movie.
Yes, they all extract, but several are wounded, one severely. One of the Iraqi soldiers is blown into chunks.
Yes
You need to dial back the cynicism some. I thought I was black pilled.....
