There's an advert, in a fortnightly magazine called "SOLDIER", from a
group looking for land on which they can re-enact battles. There's
nothing new in that I know, but this group call themselves, "The
Vietnam Re-enactment Society".
Am I being too sensitive, because they make me feel sick.

I, for one, agree with you. Re-enacting battles should serve some
historic purpose. The most important battles in the Vietnam War
occurred in Washington, DC. That's where the no-win policy was
formulated and soldiers who tried to win, such as Lt Calley and General
LaVelle, were disposed of by a bunch of bureaucrats.
I'd gladly participate in a re-enactment of one of Pres Johnson's
Cabinet Meetings. I hereby volunteer to play the role of Robert [very]
Strange MacNamara (Sec of Def) or Dean Rusk (Sec of State).
I haven't seen the ad (we Colonists drop the vert) you're referencing,
but I'm a bit suspicious of monetary purposes rather than historic
purposes in many recent activities for Vietnam era vets. Does the ad
state where the proceeds will go?

Kurt,
There is no mention of any beneficiaries from this group.
