Are you a re-enactor? Groups of people re-enact the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars 1 & 2, Korean War and the Vietnam War. Are you a re-enactor? Could you be a Vietnam War re-enactor? Is there anyone re-enacting the Gulf War? Do you think there will ever be War on Terror re-enactors?

I was offered the opportunity to be a WWII reenactor with the 10th SS Panzer Division out of New Jersey. I declined because with working full time and a 3/4 college student, I have no time. I think after I graduate, I might consider Civil War reenactment, especially since I live so close to Gettysburg and am a few hour drive from a lot of battlefield down south.

Why would anyone want to be? This was a war that thousands didn't come home from even after some of them alive came home. What would re-enacting it serve to accomplish?

As for re-enacting the war on terror that will happen in just over a year when we have a presidential election.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver, I'm with SPC Charles Brown on this one. I just don't see the rhyme or reason to it. I live in middle Tennessee, so Civil War reenactment is all over the place. As a Vietnam War re-enactor, I have to say no.
