Yes, but the Civil War battlefields are here; the WWII battlefields are not, and that plays into it, I think.

There are folks who for some reason I cannot personally fathom enjoy dressing up in the costumes and going out and camping in the way soldiers did then, etc etc etc.

Again I don’t personally get it. Neither do I understand the folks who dress up in medieval costumes and go to the medieval sorts of fairs which are held periodically, but there are plenty of folks who do it.

Somebody should write a cracked.com list “The 5 most nostalgic historical eras that completely sucked”
