Because if you DON'T interpret it that way then you're saying that the people who died deserved to die and their dying served the greater good And that the person who, conversely, lived and seemingly got their redemption despite not being that different from them, deserved that

And I will not accept that because that's bullshit The people who lived and died at the end of the day very clearly did so because it served the bad guys' purposes They let Sam and a lot of the fans think this was a victory but it only looks like one

They've been played, everyone's been played Familiar tropes deployed to make it look like the blood spilled was a tragic necessity while the guilty who walked free maybe weren't all that bad And meanwhile the obvious actual bad guys just get more wealth and power

And for a story about America and the legacy of American wars... That's very appropriate
