    A perceptive observation to say the least, and likely a key ingredient in 
their following conduct.  I'm trying to remember, weren't the Wolfhounds the 
army unit that, along with a contingent of U.S. Marines, sent to northern 
Russia to fight the Bolsheviks for a brief period in the 1920s? Seems to me 
that the Wolfhounds have been blessed with good lineage and pride for a long 
time.  And to give credit where credit is due, maybe they were luckier than 
average in having good leadership assigned to them over a prolonged period.  
I'm not clear whether the Wolfhounds have been considered a "premier" unit in 
the conventional infantry ranks.  Premier enough to have the army give some 
thought as to who they assign to the unit.
