Exsurge, Domine... "Re-enactors Mission for Jesus Christ Display" Oh, dear. See what Paul Fussell has to say sometime in his book "Uniforms" about re-enactors.
Re: Exsurge, Domine... You mean where he called 'em "weirdos" and "sickos" and wrote: "Not having endured real military experience, they get excited by faking it. [...] "You can order genuine Purple Heart and Bronze Star medals to assist your fantasized new identity ... [but] they neglect certain details, like the writhing of the wounded, their attempts to thrust back into their abdomens their protruding intestines... [...] "The power of uniforms to bring out cruelty in the wearer, along with their inherent sexual pull, has naturally made them an indispensable part of sadomasochistic equipment." and stuff like that?
Um, yeah. His book "Class" is even better; see especially his hilarious take on the use of the label "university."
