Removing this information as it is wholly innacurate. Under the LOAC defensive action is absolutely permissable when an otherwise protected entity comes under enemy fire. For example, hospital ships, while largely unarmed and incapable of offensive action, do carry some weapons for defensive purposes. In the movie, it is stated that Captain Walden's helicopter immediately comes under fire from the tank upon its arrival above the downed chopper. Thus the enemy were the first to engage and Captain Walden was well within her rights to defend herself and her crew, despite her chopper being a rescue helicopter. Rather, the enemy tank operators would have been the ones in the wrong, as their actions could be considered committing a war crime by firing on a medical helicopter.

Her actions very well may have led to a MOH nomination as they were a demonstration of valor above and beyond the call of duty in the face of the enemy, which ultimately saved the lives of several fellow soldiers. And a cover-up, or "glossing over" of the facts would be a very real possibility given the scandalous nature of the true events. Overall the story is realistic.
