Re-enactors

It seems you can't go to a festival anymore without finding re-enactors, mostly Civil War and Revolutionary War units. I have nothing against the concept of re-enactors. I love history. BUT.
Since when did General Washington drive around in an electric scooter?
Since when did the Colonial soldier have an I-Pod?
Since when is it alright to treat the public like they were intruders in your private party?

If you want to play soldier then research a character, get in that character and stay that way while you are in the public eye.
Don't say it can't be done, I've seen it and witnessed it first hand.

Like many other pursuits, it's all about commitment or lack there of.

General Sherman on a cell phone.

What a sight. It's like when the kid at Disney World saw Mickey take off his head. He was traumatized.

LOL!
