    Exactly why I had to reenact, it was the only way at the time to play at war!

    XD Now there are twelve year olds hitting a few buttons and then slaying virtual Nazis by the dozens! Don't you wish you could do that when you were a kid!

    No. I think I had a great childhood. I got lots of exercise, I still have a vivid imagination, I can read and write and spell, and I am healthier now than had I been sitting on my ass all those years!

    True. Pre-90s kids definitely had a... healthier... childhood, generally speaking.

    Dev, which company of the 28th Mass? I used to run with the 28th Mass Co. B when I had things called "time" and "money" :P (And lived in the DC/NoVA area.)

    (Now I'm getting into competitive shooting with flintlocks as I live an hour and a half south of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association.)
