{{w|War reenactment}} is a hobby in which people act out a battle from some previous time period. Theoretical "real-time" war reenactment takes this one step further by having someone act out a war that is actually happening at the time. This would be annoying for the actual soldiers, as it would be hard to do your job if someone was right behind you imitating (and distracting) you. It would also be hard for the reenactor to get to the war zone without getting killed or detained, especially if the person the reenactor was imitating gets killed. | {{w|War reenactment}} is a hobby in which people act out a battle from some previous time period.
