I agree there are a lot of former soldiers in reenacting but the dosen't mean you need to insult them. If there are groups the have chose to do there commands in English then let them. Or help them learn the right/better way of doing it. As for there being an authentic way sure use latin commands but are they any more right than the modern commands said in latin? Who knows, there is no written record of a Roman drill book to my knowledge. So there is no wrong way of doing it just bettere ways. If I have offended any of you all. I am sorry. I just feel it's wrong to do what was done. There was no need to be insulting.

Well, we'll leave it down to Matt to explain himself, or what he meant.
