As I recall, we already have plenty of modern age army/military minifigures. If you want something different, please have a look at what DLP has to offer in their latest set #9016.
They have named this theme as World War 2. I think they have made a great choice of colors and background image that accurately reflects the characters are from this theme.
[update@January 19,2016]:
We are very fortunate that @kage has helped translate the label on the box, showing who are these guy supposed to represent (top, left to right and bottom, left to right)
here's a copy paste from his comment:
Top:
1. Soviet soldier (body print seems to be a copy of Colonel Dovchenko from the Indiana Jones Sets)
2. Chinese "8th route" (as printed on the arm) soldier
2. Chinese "8th route" (as printed on the arm) soldier
3. British soldier
4. Adolf Hitler himself
Bottom:
1. Japanese Imperial Soldier (obvious to most in S.E.A)
2. Chinese Nationalist Soldier (Emblem on helmet is the logo of the Nationalists, emblem still in use by Taiwan, most noticeably in their flag)
3. German (obvious enough I guess) K98 soldier (based on magazine pouch printed)
4. American soldier
Hey, have you noticed now that one of the minifigure looks like Adolf Hitler? ahaha. By the way, the box is bigger than the usual box which is used to accommodate this stuff.

What's in each box;
After opening all the boxes then I noticed every box contains the same big weapon. I'm sorry i don't know the name- hand missile/grenade launcher? [update] It's mortar. thanks to @kage
The instructions is printed on the back of each card.
Assembled weapon:
Oh yes. That tiny little spring is the most important part in this build. No pin or trigger that you can pull, but you can manually launch the missile.. it's good enough, right?
I think that's the best part in this whole set. For other weapon/accessories; brown rifle - they come loose in sealed bags and for black rifle, the parts are attached to the plastic rack.
Weapons/accessories for each minifigures:
This is the minifigure that I mentioned at the beginning of this post that looks like Adolf Hitler (^_^)".
Not many unique minifigure in this set. One of this figure however has print on left side of the arm and another one has print on his helmet.
Last but not least, all the accessories/weapons you can get from all 8 boxes:
