Based on the equally famous World War II photograph taken soon after the actual incident, the famous 'Iwo Jima statue' represents the capturing of Mt. Suribachi -- the highest point on the island of Iwo Jima -- by American Marines. More largely, the statue is dedicated to all those Marines who have died in defense of their country since 1775.

What is wrong with the Iwo Jima statue?

I'm not sure what you mean by "wrong". The statue is a work of art that captures the drama of the event on Iwo Jima. If you look carefully, I'm sure there are many items of equipment and such that are not identical to the photo. That is not reason to critique the excellent monument.
