Abstract: Several years ago my wife and went to see a movie that probably deserved a larger audience. Titled “Courage Under Fire,” the film was set in the aftermath of the first Gulf War. It starred Meg Ryan and Denzel Washington. Washington played the role of an Army officer given the task of determining whether the character played by Meg Ryan—a helicopter pilot killed by the Iraqis—was eligible for the Medal of Honor. As Washington’s character interviews soldiers who witnessed the actions of the female helicopter pilot, the film provides flashbacks of the action as seen through the eyes of each witness. As might be expected, none of the eyewitnesses agree, and Washington’s character has to wrestle with the question of which story is closest to the truth.
