Well I am watching it on AMC right now and something puzzled me (I guess i looked away). How did all the army people all of a sudden wake up after the gas attack and attack them knowing exactly what the bad dude's plan was?

Um, probably because whoever gased them was going for the gold, duh?

James Bond: Do you expect me to talk, Goldfinger?

Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!
