To be honest, I rarely, if at all, use real-life factions. The reason isn't political correctness, or that I don't want to offend these factions, but I just don't really see the need for it.
I mean, if I say that the opponents are middle-eastern insurgents, is there any doubt it's something like ISIS or the Taliban?
Another reason, especially when using things like AAF for Hellenic Army, is that they don't have either the equipment nor the uniforms of those. I once had a mission were I wanted to have a support team from the IDF, but didn't do it because the uniforms don't fit. That, for me, is a bigger problem than real-life names.
Also, since I am a bit obsessive with fact-checking, I don't want to misrepresent anything.
I dunno, might sound weird, but for me, it never was an issue.

I don't need luck, I have ammo.
