You mean Conflict Desert Storm?

Is this any different from the US DOD making a FPS featuring actual battles from Iraq?

Both the developer, Pivotal Games, and global publisher, SCi Games, of Conflict Desert Storm are British. Pivotal Games closed in 2008 and SCi is a shell subsidiary of Square Enix. The publisher for the American release was Gotham Games, a subsidiary of Take Two Interactive, which closed down in 2003.
AFAIK, the Conflict series was not developed or funded by the United States government. To my knowledge, only “America’s Army” is a game directly funded and developed for the US government’s military branch. It also is published by the US Military.

America’s Army in it’s initial release would have maps uploaded weeks after fighting.

No, they both should be banned.
