Answer 1

Thats just fun! We'll allow a little of that. I've done Civil War and I'm looking into a good unit for WW2. So I can say that reenactors are generally pretty easy going.

Go into McDonald's with your uniform and gear...

Hit the drive through in a halftrack....

It happens...

ROTFL!  Da kid was havin' fun - I mean, he's a KID!  And he wasn't performing for the public at the time, so what's the big deal?  We Civil War re-enactors are the strictest of all, but even we don't clamp down on kids every minute they're in camp.  You do that, they'll say "s***w re-enacting" and drop out.  When they get older, we'll ask 'em to cut down on the farby behavior.

Answer 3

Their pretty strict. You want to recreate the battle as much as possible. So one probably to the kid to stop after the video stopped.
