Political, Non-MV??? All the reenactors are basically asking is to be able
to display their MV and their impressions without being harassed. I think
Dave Ball's attitude unfortunately is held by some in the hobby. I for one
have very little interest in the postings on M35, Mutts and HMMV's on the
list. However I tolerate it and hit the delete key. I note in the MVM
that more and more events are advertising reenactors and displays. I don't
think there is more an impressive site to see WWII MV's deployed in the
field with good impressions. Except for the license plates, you'd think it
was 1944.
