What do you want us to say? I'd say just ignore it. And I personally wouldn't have such idiots as friends that would send me this sort of stuff.

WWI French uniform known as the "Bleu Horizon" that was used from 1916 until the end of the war.

Reminds me of that time when Brian Ferry got into hot water for observing - quite correctly - that the Nazis had the best uniforms, in WW2.

The other thing about it is the moustaches all three of them are sporting. Are they all gay or something?Question......
What uniforms are those re-enactment soldiers wearing?
If I knew that it might help my reaction. At the moment all reaction in oldbadger is snoozing.......

Thank you for that info.
No probs then, if re enactment folks want to focus on them.
The poster shown in the OP is just nutty then ! Bonkers!

Best friggin' tanks n' all. Best of everything. We started out with Lee Enfield's of Great War design. Good but slow.Reminds me of that time when Brian Ferry got into hot water for observing - quite correctly - that the Nazis had the best uniforms, in WW2.
I have to go with @Eyes to See the person who sent it is either an idiot or trying to be funny and failing. There is so much wrong with it.

Yes, my immediate thought was it looked like the sort of thing that might be started by of these Alt-right/ Qanon/ Russian troll farm people, trying to paint "liberals" as unreasonable killjoys, by getting a meme going that they could then get indignant about.

Confederate....French uniforms....
I have got absolutely no idea what this is supposed to be about. Could anyone indulge me and explain what it's all about? Merci,

Being fascinated by history doesn't make one 'racist', even if the era one is fascinated by happens to have had a racist component. The Civil War was not just a war about slavery. It was a war between two different, competing economic systems, and over the autonomy of states within the union. But I don't think this is what fascinates re-enactors. I think they're more interested in the individual's experience of life as a soldier in that war.
Apart from everything else, I'm a bit mystified by the phrase
"Confederate Civil War reenactments." After all, the reenactments I'm familiar with involve both Confederate and Union reenactors.
I think they do it because they love history and want to honor those who fought in the Civil War, not for any contemporary political motives. They're expected to remain "in character" (even when sitting around the campfire at night), although I recall hearing about one reenactor who answered his cellphone while marching in Pickett's Charge.
But apart from that, my impression is that they're sticklers for realism and historical accuracy as much as possible.

Fixed. The nuke came at the end of ww2
Britain incented the radar in 35, i believe it was much later that america adopted the idea
