Attrition is sorrow for one's sins that arrises from reasons other than love of God. If it is forced, someone is making you feel sorrow for your sins, but not for the actual act of the sin, but because you are sorry that you were caught. It's difficult for a child, for example, to learn true attrition. For example, a child lies to his parent and is caught. The parent punishes the lie. The child cries, but not because he feels sorrow for the lie but because he does not like the punishment.

In this context, "Attrition" is associated with the Catholic concept of "imperfect contrition".

AnswerIn the context of warfare, forced attrition refers to the slow depletion of one's fighting strength, usually due to outside forces beyond the control of the leader of the fighting force. It is usually associated with the concept of Attrition Warfare, where the major strategy of an inferior force is to slowly reduce the superior force via a series of small combats, each fought on terms favorable to the inferior force, thus slowly weakening the superior one.
