Fletcher Hampton · Answer 1

When being defensive, untrained troops do not export as much energy, effort, and power as they would have if they were offensive (attack). It also gives them a perspective of the enemy's tactics and warfare charge.

Moochie · Answer 2

Because they don't have to go into enemy lines, which requires mental training and physical, as well. They just see the invading troops, and attack, rather than planning and attacking.
