Tactica militar


Explanation:
durante la primera guerra mundial. El "attrition" era la tactica utilizada para limpiar las trincheras de tropas enemigas. Consistia en bombardeo de artilleria intenso y despues se mandaba a las tropas. Basicamente consistia en agotar no solo fisicamente sino tambien la moral de las tropas enemigas.
