Courage Under Fire (1996) goes a long way toward affirming the goal of gender and racial integration in the contemporary armed services, but it is also defined by images, elisions, and subtexts that point equivocally to other historical and cultural vantage points, perspectives that erode and destabilize the film's overtly forward-looking vision.
