I don't post much on the forum anymore, personal reasons etc.
I'm not sure on re-enacting, does death need to be rerun ? to teach a new generation of the horror of war?
I think the losses recently for the sake of a grey men will inform their generation.
I've watched living history and reenacts , and to a certain extent i feel uncomfortable, almost embarassed, at some of the overweight Walter Mitte's trying to carry out fire and manouvere :confused:
I've seen some very very sad people living in parallel universe's and unfortunately this was War and Peace, but likewise I've met some stars.
When it comes down to it I think it involves connection and memory...
Sealed knot and like reenact some of the bloodiest conflicts of man, and we just watch, as we have no personal attachment, but WW2 we still have relations who we have heard 1st hand from.
As a child I listened to my Uncle, airborne who fought thru Italy then Normandy. Those stories and others mark you and give you a physical link.
I feel there is a place to inform, but to rerun battles of which there are still survivors, suffering physically and mentally, I think not necessary.
We are meant to be the most intelligent life form on earth What the hell went wrong??
Just my views
