The Cold War is over and is as much a part of history as the American
Civil War.

What you see now is a resurgence of Russian Nationalism and a new
round of the The Great Game. If more prople studied history they
would know what they are looking at.

Yes, think of grandpop back in the 1890s, pulling his old uniform out
of the trunk, brushing it off and wearing it into town on the Fourth
of July.

Or, *more to the point, *the men of Quantrill's Raiders dressing up in their
old uniforms to have a reunion on the date of their raid on Lawrence Kansas.

During the American Civil War they were treated very like al Quaida men are
being treated today.

I will say that my grandparents and great grandparents lived for a
while in Jamesport Missouri. I think they would not share your opinion
of the fake colonel. He claimed he got a colonelcy in Richmond but no
one else knew about it.
