Remember it well,,,
Didn't it come from a leg 2nd Lt called Bill Calley,
Didn't do much for his career, if I remember correctly???

It was made famous by a plaque Chuck Colson had on his wall when he was council to Nixon in the WH. Which was a re-worked version of something LBJ said, and there are thoughts it thread back to Teddy Roosevelt & a young Lt. Douglas MacArthur, around 1906.
