I can only think of two serious war movies that would have been around in the 90's that weren't set in WW2 or Vietnam:
Sahara and NAVY Seals. (And I suppose Navy seals isn't a "war" movie exactly...)
The 3rd I know of is In The Army Now, and I know the scene you describe isn't in that one unless you're misremembering the airstrike scene at the end (it does sound pretty similar except for the guy being shot). 🤷🏻♂️
Sahara (1943) starring Humphrey Bogart, Sahara (1983) starring Brooke Shields, Sahara (1995) starring Jim Belushi, Sahara (2005) starring Matthew McConoughey, and Sahara (2017) starring Omar Sy are all not it. :P
Doesn't seem like Navy Seals is it, either. Also, when I say "war," I mean there's military action, I don't know if the movie was about a proper war or if they were just fighting an aggressor.
I had to find a copy of In the Army Now to confirm that movie wasn't it. Like Courage Under Fire, it has the same story beats but it is (thankfully) not the right movie. Would have been upset if I had to sit through another Pauly Shore film.
Pretty sure the movie I saw all those years ago was a drama, not a comedy.
