John McCain has been both described as a war hero and someone who partied through life without a care in the world.
These two things seem quite contradictory do they not? Except thats exactly how Luke was described in Cool Hand Luke. Luke was described as someone who did things without a care in the world and yet he was a war hero who quickly became the favorite of the prisoners.
Luke never planned ahead thats why he was a war hero, thats why he was a prisoner, and that was why he partied his way through life.
The prison guards had a hard time breaking him, but in the end they managed it.
The movie was made in 1967 which is the same year he was shot down in vietnam. So it can't be about him.
I think this idea is rather informative because I think it gives a picture into how McCain does things. It explains his personality and why he has never been in the command of troops or the governor of anything. Because he just isn't a responsible person.
