Instead of the kind of the uncritical hero worship many war games fall into, High Speed Low Drag feels like an honest and well-intentioned deep dive into the life of a modern soldier. Complete with all it's trials and tribulations.
What games "fall" into uncritical hero worship and why is that bad? Why is a game better if it is critical of its protagonists? Games are supposed to be escapist fun. I don't see what's wrong with having heroic soldiers fighting against evil.

The fact that the "Evil" usually takes the form of specific ethnic groups/racial stereotypes and tends to fuel American Jingoistic nonsense?
