So, I've done a bit of digging on this topic because I was curious if there was an origin to this phrase. This article doesn't include sources so I contacted Walter Hitchcock to get some verification. He states that he coined the phrase in a commencement speech given in 1988 that was given by the Secretary of the Air Force. Given some of the other dates in this article pre-date that speech, I'm not sure it works as an origin of the phrase. Hope this helps.192.127.94.7 (talk) 20:01, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
