YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe went to North Carolina where a group of war vets and history buffs realistically reenact the Vietnam War.
Over the last 50 years war reenactment has gone from something guys at the Elks Club did on the weekend to get away from their wives to a full-blown obsession among history buffs with enough free time to make the experience as true to life as possible. Along with the increased intensity has come an increased demand for variety. The Vietnam War has typically been forbidden territory, but reenactment groups around the country have begun collecting their rice hats and period-appropriate M16s for pretend skirmishes with fake Viet Cong. Thomas embeds with the Virginia-Carolina Military History Association as they embark on their first tour through Vietnam...in North Carolina.
