remember Veteran's Day?

There has been some quasi-serious talk in the United States about certain states seceding from the union.  Since that sounds like civil war talk, I kind of imagined (quasi-seriously) that all those men and women who engage in civil war reenactments would have a distinct advantage over the rest of us...should an actual civil war break out.  Then, I realized, that in those reenactments, 95% of the participants are reenacting dying.  So, I don't think it turns out to be much of a tactical advantage, but it maybe something to consider in any discourse related to secession.
