This is most interesting. I am VERY familiar with MacArthur's farewell address, having had to deliver it in High School oratory when I was a member of the NFL (wake up, guys: the National Forensic League, not the National Football League!) And I have interviewed several guys who heard MacArthur deliver the address. MacArthur was an ingenious author and quite capable of producing a phrase, and I shall henceforth give him credit for the line. 

Thanks, Eric!
