Help oversize uniform

[dougiebarder]

No I haven't served. But if I had, I know I wouldn't be happy to see a bunch of posers running around and showing off and pretending to be real soldiers.
I don't think any of the re-enactors I've seen show real soldiers in a good light.
If you want to dress up and make yourselves the centre of attention-choose another subject. Reading a British army site (WWW.arrse.com) the general consensus seems to be that any real ex solders doing it should know better!

I know that I'm massively outnumbered in my opinions, but quiet frankly, I don't care. The general excuse used by re-enactors is that when they meet the old guys who they are pretending to be, they say it's fine. I've seen a few of these incredibly modest and brave men as well, and I think they are just very polite-yeah I know-unlike me, but re-enactors really annoy me.
Please feel free to delete this ASAP.
