It feels like 14 carats but no clarity
When I look at the man who would be king
The man who would be king goes to the
desert to sing war his dad rehearsed
came back with flags on coffins and said
we won, oh, we won
Thats seems like a pretty obvious Bush reference. The man who would be King (Bush Jr) goes to the desert aka Iraq and the middle east in general for war. His dad (Bush Sr) rehearsed it because the US had the whole Persian Gulf War when he was President.
this is right; anyone who pays attention to the FOB interviews knows that they like political references. i was actually going to post that about that verse too(:

wow, i think your pretty right but i percieved it totally different!
I thought it was a reference to young Prince Harry fighting in the Iraq war
hence the "Man who would be king".

Man who would be king:
The year before this song was written, Prince Harry returns from a ten year tour of Afghanistan where he killed but lost many men, but he came back saying they won, despite the fact they had sent back more coffins then men in that time. In addition, they fought in the war to gain the faith of the locals but over 22% of the casualties were civilians. They ended up leaving with more hostilities than they came with.

Notably, his father Prince Charles was in the military, flying bombers practicing for a war with possibly many enemies (tensions were high with afghanistan too at that time) that never ended up happening in his time. His son would later drop bombs in the very war his father prepared for.
What did prince harry do when he came back? Rather than being a diplomat he complained about how his father wanted him to act more like a prince, but instead he came after being forcibly denied another go and complained, Multiple interviews led up to that and after that where he was described as "never having a bigger smile than when he was shooting at enemies"
Amphetamines played key rolls in the war, as the soldiers were suffering amphetamine addictions (such as benzadrine)
14 Carats but no clarity
The 14K Triad, originally known for, you guessed it, 14 Carat gold, is a hong kong group associated with afghanistan. Back in the 1970s they owned tons of land in afghanistan and fought in a horrific and dishonorable manner, in fact if youre thinking about some of the worst tactics of the afghan war, well you guessed it, those tactics came from them.
A lot of these same tactics came up during Prince Harrys term, and there we suspicions but no proof (clarity) that it was the 14K
So i very highly believe that the fact all this came to light in an interview given less than a full year before this songs release, it was about Prince Harry.
