| Huh, I'll be darned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_reenactment_groups - Quote :
- Some veterans have criticized military reenactment as glorifying 'what is literally a human tragedy.'[43] "'If they knew what a war was like', said one Second World War combat veteran, 'they'd never play at it'.
- Quote :
- In some cases, if there are not enough reenactors on one side, reenactors from the other side are asked to change sides, or "galvanize", for the day/event.
I would bet, in the case of Confederate soldiers, they're usually the side with not enough re-enactors, and none of them would ever consider 'galvanizing.' - Quote :
- Although most common in the United States, there are also American Civil War reenactors in Canada, the United Kingdom,[1] Germany,[2] Australia,[3] Italy,[4] Denmark,[5] Sweden, and Poland.[6]
Okay, that's just plain bonkers. |
