Abstract

A newspaper advertisement for one of the major celebrations held to welcome home the troops from the Persian Gulf featured a group of smiling and healthy young men and women in military garb. The caption accompanying the picture was, "Who says winning isn't everything?" (Desert Storm Homecoming Foundation, 1991). In this article, the beliefs of Jeannette Rankin, one of the United States's most prolific pacifists of the 20th century, will be examined in conjunction with the realities of the Persian Gulf War. This examination will contest the assumption that winning is everything and propose that winning is worth little when compared to the costs of war.
