Well, Dustin Hoffman said it in the movie Hook!.
Apart from that, my guess would be Patton (sounds like the kind of thing he'd say), with reference to the Falaise Pocket and the slaughter of the German 5th Panzer and Seventh Armies therein.

I guess Genghis Khan at kinder, although he probably didn't say it in English. Either that or
Sheedy to Roger Merrett in the 1980's.
OK I'm guessing, can we have a clue?

Was it Nathan Bedford Forrest (the infamous Confederate millionaire cavalry officer and reputed founder of the KKK) ordering the massacre of the African American Union soldiers at Fort something in the Missippi theatre? I forget the date.

Bravo True Roo - correct !
Battle of Fredericksburg, December 1862.
The Federal Army of the Potomac tried to break out of the Virginian town of Fredericksburg by crossing the Rappahannock River and storming the Confederate positions behind a low stone wall at the foot of a gentle sloping hill.
The Federals mounted a full frontal assault by massed infantry - and were completely blown away accordingly. The carnage was appalling and the Federals suffered 12,500 casulaties, including nearly 2000 killed. The Confedrates suffered 5000 casualties of thier own but the overwhelming majority of these were AWOL - the boys had gone home for Xmas ! Confedrates killed in action were less than 200.
The day after their terrible defeat, the Federal Army retreated back over the river into Fredericksburg Town where they went on a bender - looting and vandalising, they even r*ped the women in the town and shot up a church.
When one of his aides told General Jackson what was going on over the river that day he replied calmly and in a low monotone
Kill them, kill them all

Jackson? That lemon-sucking God-bothering nutcase?
I should have known.
Just as an afterthought, here is my Civil war combined 18
Backs:
BP: Sedgewick ("They couldn't hit an elephant from there") in the back pocket to distract sharpshooters.
FB: Thomas The Rock of Chickamauga as the mainstay of defense (although he played on the flank at Chickamauga, he's key position height and weight).
BP: J Johnston. Utterly defensive negative player.
HB: Custer. Good at picking up flankers like he did at Gettysburg. Tendency to charge at everything in sight.
CHB: Bob Lee. Nicknamed "General" after the Richmond ruckman. Elite player, equally good at attack and defense although occasionally innacurate in front of goal. Great on the rebound.
HB: Beauregarde. Eccentric, creative, just keep him out of the action.
Wing: Nathan Bedford Forrest. Known for his damaging runs and deep forays in attack.
Centre: Pickett. Famous for his attack in the centre.
Wing: Sherman. See N. B. Forrest. Best middle name of the war: "Tecumseh"
HFF: Hood. "Hungry" attacking player, a bit one-way though.
CHF: Grant. Dirty effective thug, more brute force than skill, but has the score on the board. Real name Hiram Ullysses, known as U.S.
HFF: Stonewall Jackson. Often played as a flanker eg his last match at Chancellorsville despite starting as a key defender in First Bull Run ("there is Jackson, standing like a stone wall").
FP: A. P. Hill. Savage attacking "in and under" player.
FF: Mclellan. Highly rated (by himself) player but very slow, so best left in the goalsquare.
FP: Morgan. Resting rover to change with Mosby.
Ruck: Lincoln. Okay he's not a military man but neither were most of the Union commanders. Has the height and nous to dominate the highest post for almost the whole game. Like Sedgewick, leaves himself vulnerable to sniping.
RR: Sheridan. Okay he's small enough to be a rover too, but didn't want to break up Mosby and Morgan.
Rover: Mosby. Volatile and productive if a bit violent.
