An amputee in full makeup before role-playing a casualty during a run of the Medical Trauma Lane. He role-plays having his legs blown off in a Humvee explosion four times a day.

Because THAT can’t be bad for aggravating PTSD or anything…

More reasons to both dislike and be terrified of ‘ultramodern’ re-enacting.

Maybe I should make a list.

This isn’t for reenacting.  It’s for military training, on a training base.  I have a friend who does this, actually.

Ah, I see. I got quite confused - oh well, in that case, it’s certainly not a bad thing if it gives the regulars the first desensitisation -  anything that prevents them going bomb happy overseas.

Now I feel like an idiot - the reason being that I attended one re-enactment as a spectator and something roughly similar to this went on, albeit with less attention to detail.
