False Motivation Is My Quick Sand

This is making fun of the unholy poster sets called "Successories". Believe it or not, there isn't one building on any Army installation anywhere that isn't littered with this ineffective bull crap. I'm not sure how the people that make motivational propaganda sleep at night knowing that they're catering to a very small, very spineless section of the population.

Okay, I can see having this in certain Army installation. It would be to target brand new recruits...you know, the kind that are fresh out of High School that are still very influential to outside sources.

I do not see this being around anyone that's over the age of 21 and has a brain, anywhere. Think about this...pretend you're an employer and you're looking to hire an applicant that is going to be placed into a stress intensive job (errr...putting the whole "Army" and "war" thing aside...but still keeping it in sight). Are you going to want an employee who is unaffected by outside influences and draws on internal strength and insight for motivation? Or do you want an employee who is motivated by some industry generated (not from classical thinkers like Nietzsche or Plato) quotations plastered against some hotel-grade art or $9.95 coffee mug?

I'm just sayin...
