The war of attrition [[strategy]] is all geared toward setting up a kill zone to finish off the enemy once the war of attrition is completed, after which large chunks of territory may be taken. This is very different from the "[[Blitzkrieg]]" or "Shock and Awe" model introduced by [[Nazi Germany]] and adopted the [[United States]].
