I don't want to turn this into a flame-bait discussion, but I have a viewpoint that I think should be heard.

I am a Civil War reenactor. I do both Union and Confederate. By what you are saying about "Hate Groups", does that place me in that category? Some southerners owned slaves, and I am reenacting that side. Does that mean that all Confederate reenactors should be locked up because it appears as a "hate crime"? No.

On that same note, should all WWI and WWII German reenactors be frowned upon because they choose to recreate that side of the war? Think about it.

There's a difference between carrying out a hate crime and having a dumb name.
