Sounds like a variation on the exhortations of Spartan mothers to their sons: "Come back with your shields, or on them". In other words, victory or death in the attempt.Has somethin to do with the Revolutionary War. Washington's men were dropped off and they were so determined to win they burnt the boats. Basically if they didn't get the job done, they didn't want to return to where ever it was they came from.
