So here’s the 14 minute and change video that the Veterans Administration paid more than $52,000 for.
I dunno who this clown is, but he’s no George C. Scott.
Can I have my money back?

This is self-inflated bullsh*t.
Some bureaucrat felt extreeeeeeemely proud of him/herself for coming up with this idea.
And what does that girl, the program analyst, know about the “differences” between the needs/illnesses/disabilities of Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan veterans? She sounds like a twit. Her ideas sound extremely “stylish”.
And this apparently is being screened to an audience of HR professionals working at the VA. What’s the purpose? It plays very much like a mindless pep-talk.
Which is precisely what it is. A $52,000 peptalk.
I’m a denizen of Dilbert’s Cubicle Hell. OEM electronics manufacturers. The earliest of Scott Adams’ series hit too close to home for me to read lots of them in a single sitting. I wind up laughing, but with the muscles of my neck and shoulders literally in knots.
I recognize this type of thing.
Trying to respectfully tiptoe through PJM’s comment rules, it strikes me as some bureaucrat’s method for … (cough) … ‘self-gratification’.
I even wonder who the man is who’s mimicking George C. Scott/Patton. Might he be the bureaucrat (or one of them) who commissioned this video? I think — just in case — it might be worth finding out.
