White Feathers for Stephen Eagle Funk

At the risk of being called a liberal for relying upon a movie for a history lesson, the recent movie "Four Feathers" is about a soldier who resigns as his unit is to be sent to the Sudan to fight for Her Majesty. Three of his comrades in arms and his girlfriend give him white feathers along with their calling cards to signify their disgust with his cowardice.

Whatever your thoughts about the movie (made by an anti-British Indian peacenik who lionizes early Moslem terrorists), in honor of our British friends, we should revive this tradition.

Stephen Eagle Funk (son of Robert Funk of Everson, Washington) deserves white feathers as symbols of his cowardice. His Marine reserve unit was called up to be deployed to Kuwait and he failed to report. Instead, he took 30 days to decide to apply for conscientious objector status (read more on this FR thread).

While he might oppose war based on his personal political philosophy, he is not a conscientious objector bound by his faith to accept victim-hood over self-defense. He is a coward who tried to defraud the American taxpayer by gambling that he could earn California residency and a free college education at our expense without having to go to war.

I won't give out his personal information, but his attorney, Stephen Collier of San Francisco, has a commercial and publicly available address. I will be sending my business card and a white feather to:

Stephen E. Funk
c/o Stephen Collier
Tenderloin Housing Clinic
126 Hyde Street
San Francisco, CA 94109
415 771 9850

There is no need to include a note, he will get the message.

If you feel likewise, please feel free to send a white feather yourself.

bada ping, bada bump!

The rotten little creepy coward was all over Seattle local tv news last night with announcers extolling him to the high heavens as he read his statement on camer about not being wiling to kill. They interviewed several people who knew him, including his high school principal, and all gushed about how wonderful it was that he went AWOL. Not a dissenting opinion in the crowd. You cannot believe how skewed the news here is...

I'd like to volunteer him for service as a rat in an SARS test laboratory. At least we'd get our money out of him, and besides he does look exactly like a lab rat.

[Paul Atreides]

I would rather he be dishonorably discharged, brought up on charges of attempting to defraud the government, stripped of any benefits, be made to repay the government for the expense it is out on him, and thrown in the slammer.

[TexasGunRunner]

If you notice where his attorney operates - well, I think it says a lot about what is really going on.

It just further evidence he is too cowardly to explain why he really wants out.

BTW, if you know any FR marines, let them know.

[TexasGunRunner]

To be sure, and I am confident the U.S. Marines will take the proper action. He will probably have to pay us back in time in prison, but that is still better than letting him walk.

This is just something I can do to let him know what I think of his actions.

[Paul Atreides]

I hear you! You'd better send him a copy of the movie along with the feathers. I'm sure he's too stupid to figure it out on his own.

[philetus]

Ya, Paul. Everything you said AND castrate him.
He really has no use for balls anyway.

Excuse me?

Please pardon my ignorance in military matters, but WHAT KIND OF @#$%^&* IDIOT JOINS THE MARINES IF HE'S NOT WILLING TO KILL?!

Instead of a white feather, perhaps I'll send him a certificate for a free vasectomy. We've got to keep those genes from propagating.

[Diddley]

I have two words for him:

Jessica Lynch.

[cynicom]

During Korean war, the cowards were going AWOL long enough to be thrown into stockade, thereby avoiding assignment to Korea. The Army got smart, started putting them in shackles and flying them direct to Korea and the front lines. The Army AWOL rate went down fast as the word spread.

The Sudan muslims make sex slaves out of the children of Sudanese Christians

The rape sodomize little boys and girls and demand they deny Christ and worship allah and his faithfull profit Muhammed

If the children to deny their faith.. their little arms or legs are hacked off or sometimes they are just beaten within and inch of their lives and set on fire..

Their parents meet similar fates..plus eyes gouged out homes burned possessions stolen sold into slavery...to other muslims of course...

Christian pastors are beaten tortured mutilated killed...poor Christian churches burned to the ground..
The people in Sudan suffer greatly unless they are muslim then they make others suffer...
To fight in Sudan to liberate these little one's would be a great priviledge...and a wonderfull act of compassion and caring..

Its no wonder the liberals dont want it to happen..mindless consciousless satanic pawns that they are and yet believe themselves to be enlightend ...while they back the worst of despots and cruel monsters disguised in human flesh to remsemble men.

The hero of the story who wont fight is the worst type of villan...one masks his cowardess with so called principles...and gets others to give him acceptance for his dismal deeds..

Sickening

I'll just rest in the satisfaction that he's going to Leavenworth for being UA while his unit is activated for combat. That's a bad time to discover that a yellow stripe runs down your back, regardless of how trendy the neighbors think it is.

[scouse]

I heard a tape of him on Rush Limbaugh's program and I feel strongly that there is little fear of his genes being propagated. In fact I think he would much rather have those white feathers in the form of a feather boa, and maybe a nice white handbag and pumps to match.

[henbane]

Print it--mail it.

STEPHEN FUNK
COWARD

[Blue Screen of Death]

After they court martial this boy, they need to make him pay back the court costs, the money spent on his training and uniform, and any other expenses the U.S. Government incures as a result of his failure to honor his contract.

[submarinerswife]

What a pud

[clamper1797]

One great candidate for an old fashioned "blanket party"

[WVNan]

Nah, he doesn't deserve any feather at all. He has his reward. He has to live with himself. That's enough punishment.

"I'll just rest in the satisfaction that he's going to Leavenworth for being UA while his unit is activated for combat. That's a bad time to discover that a yellow stripe runs down your back, regardless of how trendy the neighbors think it is. "

Sadly, this will not happen. The way it works in today's military, this turd will likely be let go with nothing worse than a General Discharge. More likely, he will receive an Honorable discharge but a negative reenlistment code!?!?! Military justice has no balls anymore.
