The Sergeant Majorette says

When I was in, it was essentially peacetime, so it was wherever you 
were. We said "What are they going to do, bend my dogtags and send me 
to Germany?" Then it was "...send me to Panama?". It's a variation on 
the theme of "Please, Brer Fox, don't throw me in the briar patch".

But seriously, folks, I think the expression originated during the 
VietNam era. If you've already died and gone to hell, you become kind 
of immune to discipline...
