sometimes I randomly remember that a big anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg had aged veterans re-enact Pickett's Charge how fucked up is that it was too emotionally wrenching for the *Union* veterans to watch so they broke position and embraced their old foes in the middle

I would imagine it would be wrenching for US Army veterans to watch Korean War era Chinese vets reenact getting mowed down in human wave attacks, too.

On the one hand, maybe less, because US Army vets don't have a longstanding nation-state relationship with Chinese... on the other hand, maybe more, because now you realize how many of them were dropped into that situation *without rifles* and told to just grab a dead guy's

True. Although it’s arguable how deep the nation-state relationship between, say, Maine and Mississippi was in 1859. Part of what made the Great Rebellion possible.
