An active duty general is on very thin ice to offer any criticisms, negative comments, about the secretary of defense. Once a general is retired, however, the gloves can come off.

We tried to keep the defense up on them and that led to getting our offense started. I was as happy about our defense during that stretch as I was about our offense. We tried to drive in, penetrate and then kick it out.

In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty.

Thanks to the gods! my boy has done his duty.

The payment of taxes is an obvious and insistent duty, and its sanction is usually punitive.

I think that anytime you can add another shot blocker to a team it improves your defense and lets you be more aggressive.
