The term 'WAR' of attrition is a military strategy in which two opposing forces engage in a prolonged conflict with the aim of wearing down the other side's resources and morale. It is a form of warfare in which the goal is to outlast the enemy rather than to defeat them in a single battle. This strategy is often used when one side has a clear advantage in terms of resources, manpower, or technology. It can also be used as a way to force an enemy to surrender without having to fight a full-scale WAR.
