I despise White Feathers, the way they were used as a propaganda tool during World War 1.
Women giving them out to men dressed as civilians proclaiming them cowards for not being in uniform.
"James Cutmore had attempted to volunteer for the British Army in 1914 but was rejected because he was short-sighted. "But in 1916, as he walked home to south London from his office, a woman gave him a white feather.... He enlisted the next day. By that time, they cared nothing for short sight. They just wanted a body to stop a shell, which Rifleman James Cutmore duly did in February 1918, dying of his wounds on March 28."
