Domain-specific¶
- Attrition Trap
- Conventional industrial-war attrition (the WWI Western Front) — the canonical case, where industrial mobilisation and entrenched defensive geometry erased the loss-exchange asymmetries both sides had assumed. Counterinsurgency and limited intervention — the recurrent structure where insurgent loss-tolerance outlasts the counterinsurgent's political clock even when every engagement is won tactically (Vietnam from the US perspective; Soviet and US Afghanistan). Protracted interstate attrition wars — eight-year grinding contests such as the Iran–Iraq War, where neither conversion assumption produced strategic transition
This sourceThe Iran-Iraq War as an eight-year attrition contest that produced no strategic transition for either belligerent.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
