Max level Fighters get Extra Attack 3 which grants 4 attacks before spending their Bonus Action or a single resource. Add in things like Action Surge and some source of a Bonus Action attack (Polearm Master, Crossbow Expert, or even off hand weapon) and Fighters can easily get 9 Attacks.
Wait, how do Fighters attack so much more than a monk?
Is it action surge?
Does it actually make Fighters attack so much more than a monk?
Action surge is a part of it, but that is only usable once per short rest
So what’s the rest of it?

Compared to Monks; nah lol
