Was watching the History Channel the other night with a series about Civil War battles. There again, in a new production were both armies shooting left-hand guns with the lock on the left and carrying their weapons on the wrong side. The actors portraying the 1st Virginia Infantry had to make those old soldiers turn over in their graves. Hat cocked sideways like a rapper, uniform for a man twice his size, Lieutenant standing in front of his men firing instead of behind the lines, smoking cigarettes, etc. No historical advisors or like you say they just ignore them. It was too much to take so I turned it off.
The channel is mostly crap now.
