In the lore, it's the
United States Colonial Marines AFAIK. And Cameron wanted to
make the movie 'Vietnam in Space' more or less, so it makes them to be americans.
Althought, I seem to very vaguely remember that it is the United Americas in the lore (NA + SA),
but I can't be sure of that without checking.
But the game is full of marine stuff. "'Oorah!" and the Generation Kill
"Actual 2-1 blaa blaa" radio chatter. You are right in that the movie never had
flag patches... but that's the least of the problems it has.
Also, note the 40 round mag on the Pulse rifle, it can be upgraded to 'extended mag', which holds 60. No one seems to understand that the damn thing
holds 90 or 99, depending who you ask.
Oh, and the Bishop drone in the beginning of the game is wearing dog tags
(very "in your face, look who I am!!!" way too). Pretty sure androids wouldnt get dog tags.
