Do you think people who dress up and reenact historical battles are doing good with their interest in history, and to keep it alive, or do you think they don't deserve to wear our soldiers uniforms?

Yes, it seems the people who like history and do that stuff at least shows this generation isn't going too down hill.

I love history, and stuff like that, but I dont need to run around in itchy fabric to remember facts. There is nothing wrong with doing that, everyone learns differently
>>56792106
I think they just want to understand what it was really like.

It's a historical interest, not to ACTUALLY join the army.

Reenactors tend to be pretty cool and knowledgeable people. We have a group of reenactors nearby who have a fucking Sherman tank. You can see it around near the 6th of June of every year

Been to a couple in my time, to watch mind not to take part.
First one was at like a village fair or something and it was Romans beating the shit out of celts.
Really awesome, lots of shouting and blue face paint.
The q and a afterwards was awesome and the guys doing the re enacting arnt some basement level betas, they normal people who have an active interest in history.
Second was some place outside of Birmingham, like a ww2 revival weekend for all the 'vintage' gear.
Again, lots of retired and ex military sticking on their old gear and having a really nice day. Steam train to the event then watched the British and an American airman try and storm an SS held road check point.
Unbelievablely cool except the dude who was playing the American would literally just spray his tompson into the air every 5 seconds which kind of ruined it.
Got some cool pictures with SS uniform though and got to fire a Bren gun fully loaded with blanks. FUCK THAT WAS LOUD.
third was the anniversary of Waterloo in France a year or two ago and that was by far the coolest one I've been too.
Hundreds of people marching at each other then muskets going off everywhere! Wicked fun!
sad
The German reenactors here in Texas are hardcore. I saw them at an event a couple of years ago in March. It was incredibly cold for the time and pouring down rain. Every one of them were sleeping under thier ponchos and enjoying every minute of it.

It's a healthy hobby that promotes knowing history, DIY crafts and a healthy social life.
>do you think they don't deserve to wear our soldiers uniforms
Why is this concern only raised when it comes to WW2 re-enactment?
And why is there always that one guy wearing stormtrooper armor?
