No offense, DTG, but you are no grammarion. Your posting was inaccurate and obtuse. you don't know what a verb is, apparently. Moreover, I have not read of a military launching an offencive.

From Grammarly:


    Offence and offense are both correct.

    Offence is the spelling more commonly used outside of the United States.

    Offense is the spelling more commonly used in the United States.

Feel free to give or take offence or offense!
