Boots on the Ground primarily functions as a horror and war film relying on established combat and supernatural clichés. While it introduces some racial variety and geopolitical context, it does not prioritize multi-layered identity politics. The focus remains on battlefield tension. The film offers moderate inclusion through its diverse cast but lacks depth in representing underrepresented identities or systemic social critiques.
