"The War Lover" compare and contrast

This is the final scene from the movie. It popped up in my mind as I was going through the news of the day. I guess part of it is due the feeling the current leadership is flying into a cliff. But Obama wouldn't go with the plane like Steve McQueen's character did. He's kicked some of the wounded and dead out already to lighten the ship.
Crew members aren't waiting for Obama to make a decision, they are already bailing out on him.

IMO Steve McQueen was at his most badass in the WWII movie Hell Is For Heroes.
