It's a poor attempt at making it sound noble somehow. No war is won, a redo is done. The war never ends. Why isn't it about the fight?
Is football about blocking and tackling, or is it about scoring?
To some, the only "touchdown" in AH is the reset. The rest is blocking and tackling.
Some don't take it quite that far and look at each base capture as a touchdown. But the end of the game still doesn't occur unless the buzzer sounds -- again, that's the reset in AH.
Still others don't care if their team scores a touchdown or not, or wins or not, so long as they get to knock someone else on their behind in the process.
In imperfect analogy to be sure, but it will do.
