Joseph Hooker.
His Mexican War service was highly significant, and so were his Civil War activities. He was a dashing figure at the center of many political as well as military events. He was known as "Fighting Joe Hooker." Warner's account concludes: "The term 'hooker,' denoting a woman of questionable virtue, is said to have derived from the class of females who frequented his headquarters-- headquarters to which it was said 'no gentleman cared to go and no lady could go."
