When we are out on the field portraying a common soldier of the 1860s, we attempt to do our very best to represent what it was like during that period. I know that we are not soldiers as they were, but we are attempting to portray them to the best of our ability. If the Captain or the Corporal or even myself say something to you harshly, it has nothing to do with you. It's what we are supposed to do. If we notice that one of you are doing something that is very safety dangerous, you can bet that you're going to hear from one of us.
Safety is one of our priority items within our command structure.
It's also in our job description as to what we are supposed to be doing while on the field. It's also our job to make sure that we look as professional as possible when in front of the spectators. When you hear us yell at you to get in step or quiet in the ranks, once again, this is not that we are picking on anyone. We are attempting to do the job you elected us to do. I hope that this clears up any questions as to why we do what we do.
