Talk:FOXHOUND

From the Metal Gear Wiki

FOXHOUND was part of the US Army, not the CIA. This is why Zero's standing with the secretary of defense when he hands big boss the papers at the end of MPO. Its also alluded to at the the end of MGS3 when the Secretary of Defense says to the DCI that he could 'use a unit like FOX in the army'. This was a direct reference to FOXHOUND.

No, the SoD was not referring to FOXHOUND, he was referring to how useful FOX could be to their interests. FOXHOUND was established after FOX was put down and disbanded in 1970-71 (post San Hieronymo). Regardless, FOXHOUND was quite an international group; in the days of MG1 and MG2:SS (MSX) it was initially put forth as a NATO effort having been established during the early 90's. MGS1 (PsOne) retconned this somewhat referring to any FOXHOUND member as having come to the US (implying a US-based nature of FOXHOUND).
