Asher Monologue from Dr. Jonathan

From Dr. Jonathan by Winston Churchill

male · anguished · 1:00 min

It looks like more bad news,--the Germans have started another one of those offensives. I was afraid they were getting ready for it. West of Verdun this time. And George may be in that sector, for all I know. How is this thing going to end, Jonathan? That damned military machine of theirs seems invincible--it keeps grinding on. Are we going to be able to stem the tide, or to help stem it with a lot of raw youths. They've only had a year's training. (DR. JONATHAN: Germany can't win, Asher.) What makes you say that? We started several years too late. Dr. JONATHAN. And Germany started several centuries too late.
