They thought our factories were less than their willpower. They just had to show us what real war was like and we’d falter. We didn’t have the guts to prosecute a war to the end.

which, you'd think of all the countries that suffered horrendously from WW1, everyone would have had their fill of 'real war' and fought for diplomacy.... anyone who's viewed as 'gutless' after that bloodbath is simply being underestimated.
