Sadly for him, though, just about everyone else thinks he has gone a bit yellow and deliver him the ultimate symbol of cowardice - a single white feather attached to their card. It's only his friend "Jack" (Wes Bentley) who has some sympathy but when the soldiers leave, "Jack" is completely ostracised - even by his love. He isn't a…
