Class A's My Ass (Reenactor Rant)
Leonard Wayne McIntosh & Walter Keegan.
It's photos of this sort that I love. Photos like this drive reenactors crazy, namely for the fact that they can't comprehend a couple of dirty ol' GI's. They tend to do everything "by the book" and study their technical manuals as if all (if any) regulations were followed 100% of the time so as not to be out of the "norm." They don't get the civilian mindset these guys were in and how most wanted as little to do with the military way of life as possible. Reenactors that served in the Armed Forces in the 80's and 90's when there was no war and it was all very spit n' polish can't live without a regulation for everything.
Condescending former BDU army PFCs that reenact WWII can stay the hell away from me. Chances are I don't want to talk to your "I spent $10,000 on my impression because I'm trying to relive my old army days when I could still get it up" ass.
