Interview Management - Dilemma to be Emotional or Logical.

There was always a perception that Armed forces believe in EMOTIONS, this thought gained more currency after the movie ' Uri', usage of the phrase " How is the Josh!!!!!!", accentuated this aspect of Emotional approach.

However, in reality, Armed Forces work on Logic, but use Emotions to motivate, encourage and cheer each other ( the way we do it for our teams in IPL,NBA etc). Though We all are aware that training,hard work, discipline, strategy, planning,focus etc that goes behind the scenes is display of prowess of logic. 

It is an established fact in the Armed Forces that "JOSH WITHOUT HOSH" is useless.

These answers look pretty impressive only in MOVIES or Dramas. In Armed Forces, we do not go on unwanton killing spree. 

Such candidates are viewed as immature, insensitive and unreliable.
