*** Henry Kissinger meanwhile managed to live until 100, dying a few months after the release of the film. However for the rest of his life he was dogged by accusations of war crimes for his involvement in the bombings of Cambodia, the 1973 Chilean coup, and backing Indonesia and Pakistan in their wars in East Timor and Bangladesh respectively, which saw hundreds of thousands dead civilians altogether.

* HarsherInHindsight: Less than two months after the film's release, a day after the 50th anniversary of the shocking Yom Kippur War, [[HistoryRepeats Israel was caught off-guard again]] by the worst terrorist attack it had suffered in its history. Also knowing that in RealLife, three of the main figures of the movie would be dead in less than ten years:
** The film shows Golda Meir's death from lymphoma in 1978.
** After being saddled with the blame for the unpreparedness of the armed forces leading up to the war, David "Dado" Elazar resigned as Chief of Staff in 1974. He passed away two years later - by all accounts a broken man - of a heart attack at the age of 50.
** Defense Minister Moshe Dayan weathered the political fallout of the war but - after further battles in the Knesset and cabinet - lost the one battle he couldn't win in 1981 when he succumbed to complications of colorectal cancer.
