Re: "Three Kings" : Comments?

209.190.32.6

They used the gold to bribe their CO to not have them court-martialed and enforce the release of the refugees. I understood the ending to indicate that neither the CO or the three kings got to keep the gold, but taking it from Saddam and saving the refugees bought them promotion (CO), honorable discharge (the three kings), and public adoration as heroes via the media coverage. I think a life sentence in jail or execution is worse than not having 23 million dollars. In the earlier "decision moment" in the film, the gold is almost irrelevant. They have to decide if they are going to go along with the politics, close their eyes, and walk away from a situation in which rebels are facing certain execution by the defeated enemy. As I wrote below, I can't vouch for the reality of this movie, and frankly, I don't really care if it was real or not.
