Goodness, I figured common sense would have prevailed when I made my point earlier. If someone breaks into your house you would attack them to defend your home. Overall, it a defensive tactic to defend your home. The guy breaking into your house is on the offensive, but yes, will defend himself when you attack. Overall he was on the offensive though. I don't know how else to break this down for you.

That isn't your only recourse. You could also stand behind cover and shoot after being fired upon as the Confederates did at Fredericksburg and against Grant in the Overland Campaign. That is what we call a defensive posture.
