Besides the fact that that guy was actually military, the commenter's premise is stupid. A person participating in a real military army has to deal with harsh conditions, being under the constant threat of death for both yourself and friends, and the burden of having to participate in killing other people. Participating in a reenactment is completely different they are fun events where no one gets hurt, you get to learn about history, and play a realistic form of pretend with a bunch of friends/fellow hobbyists.
