Aggressiveness carries with it an incalculable moral edge in any combat, offensive or defensive.
Aggressiveness was a fundamental to success in airtoair combat and if you ever caught a fighter pilot in a defensive mood you had him licked before you started shooting.
I am sometimes perplexed by people who refer to defensive rifles, or defensive rifle shooting. The defensive arm is the pistol, since you have it at hand to meet situations that you do not anticipate. If you have the luxury of anticipating a lethal encounter, you pick up a long arm, either a rifle or a shotgun, but in that case you go on to the attack. Thus rifle shooting is offensive, and pistol shooting is defensive. Of course, life does not always duplicate theory, and there are exceptions to everything, but nevertheless the rifle is not a defensive weapon in concept.
Murder is an offensive act. The term cannot be applied legitimately to any defensive act.
Aggressiveness is good in a combat leader. Combining that with ambition and insecurity becomes more problematic.
Before Wenger came, Arsenal celebrated 1-0 and were based on defensive solidity. With Arsene, joy came from attacking, with players of good standing. And the perfect combination was the Invincibles. But over time, only technical quality and offensive freedom were taken care of, losing the defensive structure.
The transition from the defensive to the offensive is one of the most delicate operations in war.
When I do defensive work well it always helps my offensive game.
Economic and military power can be developed under the spur of laws and appropriations. But moral power does not derive from any act of Congress. It depends on the relations of a people to their God. It is the churches to which we must look to develop the resources for the great moral offensive that is required to make human rights secure, and to win a just and lasting peace.
Wit has its place in debate; in controversy it is a legitimate weapon, offensive and defensive.
My nonviolence does recognize different species of violence, defensive and offensive.
In addition to a timeline, I have proposed that U.S. troops be removed from front line combat positions in Iraqi cities and towns, turning over daily security patrols, interactions with citizens, and any offensive security actions to the Iraqis themselves.
We had to play both ways on the field, so I was offensive center and defensive end.
But when an offensive sputters and looks out of synch, you can bet one of the defensive linemen is responsible.
Defensive and offensive lineman control the game and true sports fans know that.
Act with the greatest determination and on the offensive. The defensive is the death of every armed rising.
I really like to play inside. I really like being able to go one-on-one with an offensive lineman every play. At defensive end, you're more running up the field and containing more than you are just against an offensive lineman.
