PHILADELPHIA, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Three years before retiring from the U.S. Army in 2017, Donald Trump-backed Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano posed in Confederate uniform for a faculty photo at the Army War College, according to a copy of the photo obtained by Reuters.
The previously unreported photo, released by the War College to Reuters after a request under the Freedom of Information Act, showed Mastriano in a 2013-14 portrait for the Department of Military Strategy, Plans, and Operations, where he worked.
Faculty at the time had been given the option of dressing as a historical figure, people familiar with the photo said. At least 15 of the 21 faculty in the photo opted to appear in regular attire. Although one man wears a trench coat and sunglasses and another carries an aviator's helmet, Mastriano is the only one wearing a Confederate uniform.

Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Until very recently, there were annual gatherings in the South, with costumed men acting out various historic battles.
I don’t know if that still happens anywhere or not.
And why shouldn’t it? The Civil War is part of our country’s history. Many enjoy reading about the weaponry and war plans used.
REALLY!!!
So what about reenactors, or Hollyweird actors?
Didn’t Martin Sheen play Lee in Soldiers and Generals?
In the AWC, they’re just portraying great American military heroes. The Army does very well to still study BOTH sides of the Civil War.
Did Mastriano have a slave with him? No. It was SOLEY about the JOB of the AWC.. Study Americans at war.
Somebody needs to get backhanded with a glove and asked to appear at dawn, good ole 1861 style.
Um ya, so?.
One of my daughters is part of a civil war re-enactment group. Complete with rifle, tents, era everything. Like this weekend Ft. Adams in Newport, RI
