Many re-enbactors don't want the military discipline. Some have served, such as a friend of mine. He was my roommate on my first tour overseas. Now he's an ammo tech. he's a reenactor for a couple of areas. Most of the ones I've talked too never served and live in a dream world. Why Jim?

In my Civil War re-enacting unit in Illinois, almost all of the guys are prior service (I have three active and four reserve). Several of the younger guys did tours in the sandbox, and the CO was an officer in Desert Shield/Desert storm. In the unit in California, only a couple were vets. On the flip side, of the few WWII re-enactors I know, only one served.

I have no problem with anyone who has never served. But I do have a problem with someone who says he will never serve.

So it seems to me that these people are pretenders. Want to be's.

They dress up and pretend they are something that they are not. Willing to let someone else go through the hardships and spill their blood so they can have the freedoms from it. Try putting some real bullets in those re-enactment guns, feel the anxiety, the fear, the loss of friends that is felt by servicemen and women around the world.

To me that is a disgrace. They disgrace themselves, their country, and their family’s by saying they "will never serve".
