It is always nice to see a good reenactment done of a revolutionary war battle. I remember the day I went to see the reenactment of Lexington-Concord (which is in Massachusetts, and not New Hampshire (yes, I pay attention to what Michelle Bachmann pretends to know)), for example. What I am reporting on is much nicer, because it's always nice to see the regulars get routed. I mean, the "Bloody-backs", not the Red Sox :-).
Why is it nice to see this? Is it different in some way from seeing Civil War reenactment? How does our contemporary attitude about those two wars inform our responses?
