The reason that there were so few episodes is because each episode was so expensive, while the overall budget was so small, that filming more than a half-dozen episodes per season would have been prohibitively expensive.

Yeah, I figured, but either way the first 2 seasons were very good with what they got

Minor issue: I just watched the Season 4 episode, "Dividing Line", where Red Troop teams up with some Green Berets to go into Afghanistan. Anyone notice that the American soldier at one point asks, "Where's my Minimi?" when Dave snatches the gun to play a joke on him? You'd think they would know that any American soldier would call it a "SAW".
Of course, since I'm pretty sure most of the "Americans" in that episode are played by Brits, anyway, I guess that explains why.

Seriously, it's like American films and TV perfectly make fun of Brits in introducing Brit characters, but when they try to mimic Americans, it's this cliche literal cowboy hat wearing, southern accent, and racist assholes.

Yeah, it was kinda annoying that they had to portray the Americans as "cowboys". That being said, their portrayal wasn't quite as bad as some other countries whose SF have appeared on the show. The French special forces were portrayed as crybaby pussies, while the Russian Spetsnaz were portrayed as incompetent and barbaric. In general, the portrayal of our guys on "Ultimate Force" is (relatively) positive.
EDIT: Just checked out IMDB, and it turns out I was wrong. The Americans in the "Dividing Line" are played by a mix of actual Americans and some Canadians.
