Battle of the Bulge

I was there cooking food for you people. If you saw a kid wearing digi camo pants, that was probably me.

Most of the guys I saw were not overweight by any means.

Looking at the pictures, I'm guessing that we have different standards for "overweight."

Uh, were you at the event? A few pics hardly tells the whole story.

I know that re-enactors put a lot of effort and energy into their hobby but I have always found it amusing that a bunch of overweight, out of shape, middle aged guys chose to portray a bunch of rock hard, lean 18 to 25 year olds.

Why such a personal attack on people who were just there to have fun? Don't forget that a lot of the reenactors are vets from other wars, and as time goes on slow metabolism catches up to them.

Being at the event, I will say that the vast majority of re-enactors portayed a level of fitness on par with being in the military. Very few 'unfit' looking ones were around. I am a Marine by the way, so I am familiar with what 'fit' soldiers would look like.

I tried to be a little nicer, but yeah, that nailed it.
