I have walked just about all of the Civil War battlefields east of the Mississippi.
In particular I remember a foggy morning when I followed the path the Union attackers took to attack Lee's entrenchments at Spotsylvania, I was moved almost to tears by the time I reached the battle line.
But I do not hold with dressing up and playing soldier, I think it's disrespectful of those who gave their lives, and I've had several heated arguments with CW "re-enactors" about this.
Dress-up play as a POW strikes me the same way.
