re-enactor Mug
A person who wishes to recreate a specific time period in history, often with the intent of educating the general public. Some may have family members who took part in a historical event, and choose to re-enact in order to gain a greater understanding of their family member's experiences. In the U.S., Civil War re-enacting and World War II re-enacting are considered the most popular, though other forms of re-enacting such as the Renaissance, the American Revolution, and even Vietnam War re-enacting are also in existence. Re-enactors specialize in a form of history education known as "living history," which seeks to bring historical events mentioned in books "to life" so that those wishing to learn can get an up-close-and-personal experience. Historically accurate clothing and accessories are a requirement to be a re-enactor, and many usually conduct their own extensive research to ensure that their historical alter egos are displayed properly. Re-enactors are often criticized as "nerds" or "geeks" because they "dress up and run around in funny clothes and think they're cool." Also, some re-enactors are criticized because they tend to recreate military units noted as "legendary" (such as the 20th Maine in Civil War re-enacting or the 101st Airborne in WWII re-enacting) while ignoring more "average" soldiers. More simply, some people just cannot understand why re-enactors do what they do. Still, it is worth noting that without re-enactors, the cast of historical films such as "Gettysburg" would be extremely sparse. You can't make a war movie without soldiers after all.

I got this for my dad but he didn’t want it so he just gave it to me. Ever since I took it back my life has been the greatest it’s ever been. I asked my other dad if he wanted but he said no too. Oh well, I get to enjoy this product for myself more.

War. War Never Changes. War, war never changes. In the year 1945, my great-great grandfather, serving in the army, wondered when he get to go home to his wife and the son he never see. He got his wish, when the U.S. ended WWII by dropping an atomic cloud on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world awaited Armageddon, instead, something miraculous happened. We began to use atomic energy as a nearly limitless source of power. People enjoyed luxury once thought in the realm of science fiction. Domestic robots, fusion powered cars, portable computers. Then, in the 21st century, people awoke from the American dream. Years of consumption led to the shortages of every major resource. The entire world unraveled. Peace became a distant memory. It is now the year 2077, and we stand on the brink of total war, and I am afraid, for myself, for my wife, for my infant son, because if my time in the army taught me one thing; is that war, war never changes.
Excellent satire - didn't see comments to that end, so find it hard to fathom if most readers, in turn, didn't laugh out loud, and say so. But apparently not.
