Excellent. Lets get into the dictionary, because this word is bound to start coming up more often. at·trit (ə-trĭt') pronunciation also at·trite (ə-trīt') tr.v., -trit·ted also -trit·ed, -trit·ting -trit·ing, -trits -trites. 1. To lose (personnel, for example) by attrition. 2. To destroy or kill (troops, for example) by use of firepower: “Pro-active counterattacks are a useful way to attrit the enemy” (John H. Cushman, Jr.). The Taliban/Pak may breed like rabbits, but there is a finite limit. The more and the faster they lose, the more inept their actions become, the younger/more inexperienced their front end. Makes the job less risky for the good guys. Keep up the good work, lads.

They are dead. I think that is as close as you can get these days.

Now if only their leaders were Democrats, this part of the war would be over.
