That was the motto of Australian Army Officer Training Unit OTU. Although I remember it as Non Bastardum Carborundum. Any Latin scholars care to help out here.

Was he the broken arrow officer? I had once worked with a Ron Washer who was in an A team there and fought his way into that melee to help out the Marines.

I don't think so. I think it was attributed to an officer called Bud Carpenter whose unit was surrounded as they were fighting their way back to the LZ to be heloed out. He did call in an air strike on his own position though as they were about to be overrun. Most of the guys did make it out once the dust had settled.

I have to go with one more, sorry.
In the film A Body of Lies, Russell Crowe says to Leonardo Di Caprio "In the words of the great Sam Snead, if you aren't thinking about pussy then you aren't concentrating"
An incorrect attribution according to Snopes but the sentiment appears sound to me.
