That would be stretching it too thin. Combat is more of a state of mind than it is the notion of are you military or civilian. If you want to live, you go on the offense mentally. It works in Chess, it works on the street, it works on campaign.

Somebody pulls a knife on you. You draw your gun. Of course you are defending yourself. How did you not just go offensive on him?

The best defense is a good offense.
