The term was the slogan for an Army unit comprised of Japanese Americans from Hawaii and the mainland U.S. The unit is recognized as the most decorated in the history of the U.S. military. Their motto is gambler’s slang for risking it all in one effort to win big. The fierce fighting unit had high casualty rates in World War II.
