Oh JFC, I loathe MAGAts, but he was a professor at for the Army War College, iirc. For history nerds, dressing up in period clothing is the equivalent to geeks dressing up as spider man and going to a Comic con. It's the biggest pile of non news. "Tom Cruise supports genocide because he dressed up as a Wehrmacht officer in a movie!" It's Fing so nothing that I can't even begin to fathom why it's even brought up in the first place.

Some may find it shocking, but every year they reenact the Battle of Germantown, and AMERICANS DRESS AS RED COATS!?!?!?

I mean in that battle you dress up as either side and you're supporting white male patriarchy and their colonization and injustice against anyone that isn't a white male. Disgusting, really.

Context is key. Spiderman doesn't have traitorous undertones. Neither does the aviator, the spy/detective, or the musketeer. A Wehrmacht officer does, but if he's role-playing a character in a movie that's different. If this was a photo of Mastriano at a reenactment, I get it. But he wasn't. It was a faculty photo, who were given the choice to dress as a historical figure or wear the regular uniform. Most of his colleagues wore their regular attire. Out of anything in the world to dress as, he chose to wear a Confederate uniform. Interesting coincidence? If it's so much of nothing, why did the War College take the picture down? Is this CVON?

There's literally nothing to it. At all. The key you said is "most of his colleagues wore their regular attire" implying that there were others wearing period clothing. Dear God and all things Holy, a history professor at an institute designed to teach Americans war dressed up in period american war attire, when given the option to and peers were doing it as well. Also, too, the Army War College uses the civil war a lot because Gettysburg is right next door. You see officers there all the time touring the battlefield. I used to date a southerner from Alabama, I took her to Gettysburg and took a photo of her infront of the Alabama monument. Does that mean I'm a confederate sympathizer? It's such a pile of nothing. The guy is a piece of crap and has no business running, so there's more than enough evidence to point to without this BS. You're grasping at straws and clutching at pearls. Go find a better argument than one that doesn't even exist.

I hear some folks even like to LARP the battle and dress up as soldiers on both sides. I have no problem if it's your hobby. But out of anything in the world to wear in his faculty photo, why did Mastriano choose to honor a Confederate solider. It is curious to me... But you are correct it's not that big of a deal in the grand scheme. I noticed it, posted it in CVON. If it's absolutely nothing, why did the War College remove the photo? Why does it bother you so much?

Mastriano's campaign is effectively walled off from mainstream PA voters. He's throwing away a majority of PA's votes. Is this a strategy?
