An ACOG is like a machine gun, if everyone in the platoon had one it would be way too much of the same thing. As an ISR asset at the platoon level, it rocks. My gunners in trucks had them and binos, I had one as the PL and my expert marksmen had them, in addition to more advanced scopes on M14s.

The magnification definitely helps in positively identifying, then eliminating enemy threats. I, though, have always been a fan of more accurate fires as opposed to more fires, which is what most people tend to overreact with.
