{"product_id":"desert-mash-a-religious-war-dipped-in-oil-1","title":"Desert MASH: A religious war dipped in oil","description":"This is a historical fiction satire story written based on my feelings and views gathered in the workplace of both the civilian and military environment. It may even present itself as anti-war to some. However it is just a conglomeration of my thoughts after spending much time within the military and always wanting to make it a lifelong job and adventure. I had spent many years working in the field of performance and productivity with the both the military and civilian workplace. I attended many schools and classes outside of my college classes which focused somewhat on anti-micromanagement. While taught and preached, micro-management is one aptitude I failed to see disappear while I worked in the military or civilian positions as a soldier and as a leader from the end of Vietnam era to today. I wrote this satire setting in the military realm with influence form one of my most favorite television shows and movie, which was M*A*S*H* 4077. I recall one time while working as a field consultant for the military productivity division coming into the classroom we were to teach a class on leadership at. The lead instructor had written on the board PERCEPTION IS REALITY. I was a newcomer to the division and only a lieutenant at the time but opened my mouth as I read the board out loud. \"Wow whoever wrote that did not know apples from oranges. I did not realize the department staff was sitting in the adjoining room having coffee and reviewing for the class. As I entered the room all eyes were upon me and I was asked if I had a problem with today's lesson. Knowing I was in the dog house, I said no. I was then asked by the lead instructor to define the topic written on the board. I said. \"Well I think Reality can be deceived by one's perception based upon the angle their senses absorbs the event.\" I added that it was a great topic and that we should teach this great relationship between the brain and the outside world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1438988575\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1438988575.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Cope, Clifford D.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Reliant Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648257745073,"sku":"RDV.1438988575.VG","price":12.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0544\/8872\/7729\/files\/1438988575-0.jpg?v=1749058260","url":"https:\/\/www.reliantbookstore.com\/products\/desert-mash-a-religious-war-dipped-in-oil-1","provider":"Reliant Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
