There is enough textual, photographic and film archives extant to make a
mockery of your argument.

Re-enactment does not preserve truth about anything, it recreates what the
participants think may be the truth.
It tends to trivialize war, by turning it into a spectator sport (CNN
spings to mind as another guilty party there) so all people see is the
glamour (and high tech side) of it, and conveniently ignore the messy side
of it, the pain, fear and stink of fighting and dying.
Is war a spectacle to be enjoyed ?
Did you folks learn nothing in Vietnam ?
Disgusted, in Darkest Paraguay.
