About This Quote

Originally, the first gangsters to join the U.S. military were known as “Hounds.” These tough hoodlums were very successful in their criminal careers, but they held no love for violent crime. They only wanted to help out their country. When they joined the military, they started earning respect among their fellow soldiers and quickly became well-known throughout the military ranks as one of the most dangerous groups on the battlefields.
