In the mission in question, you are essentially invincible. In the other missions, you can get shot 50 times and still survive, as long as you hide behind a garbage can for a few second when need be.

The parts I have highlighted are pretty much true to life for the theatres the AC-130 has been in. Can't recall any reports of them being shot down or fired upon in Afghanistan or Iraq.
So the game was not partaking in any masturbatory fantasy, it was painting a picture of what has really happened in those scenarios.
