The line comes from Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, the 2014 first-person shooter in the long-running Call of Duty series, where its serious military campaign gave players a steady supply of quotable, villain-like dialogue.

It remains popular because it can instantly signal dominance, cynicism or a ruthless mindset in just a few seconds, without needing any context from the game itself.
