Though it was 20 years ago, there are still some who would like to do teh same thing. Whenever we encounter persons of great excitement and lack of historical knowledge, wanting to become reenactors, we have to reel them in quickly. I am sure the ignorant have great fun doing the “yeehaw” thing but we highly discourage it and do all we can to prevent it. If disgraceful behavior such as that previously described cannot be done away with in individuals we invite them to leave our unit without giving them a say. Our unit has integrity, historical accuracy and honor for all those who fought in the War Between the States as a first priority over ourselves and everyone who fights with us.

Great article.

This may be one of the funniest civil war-related lines I’ve seen on the web in some time.

Will future generations be “re-enacting” the “war on terror”? The thought is too disturbing on too many levels to even consider.

Excellent post, and thanks for the laugh!

It’s refreshing to read these articles by someone like Jonah who doesn’t take his reenacting too seriously compared to the two people in the article that you posted who showed such idiotic behavior.

Thanks,
Chris
