The same guy that gave us "******-A" and "you got that right." Macho palaver to make up for tiny members.

I heard that it started with the Naval Police, the SP's. Sailor's were frequently rowdy on shore leave and the SP's would take the ring leaders ID's and make note of that, in a situation where they were outnumbered, or was particularly volatile. This would hopefully calm the followers down a bit. Sometimes they would have to kick a_ _ and take names at the same time.

Easy:
the military; the drill sergeant would "kick *** and take names" whenever the troops didn't satisfy his expectations or conform to his orders.
Any olde Army or marine knows this.
At least back to Korea.
take names To take control. Usually used
in reference to military actions. Marines: Kick *** and take names! .

to threaten someone with physical violence. Detectives had to kick some *** and take some names in order to get information from their sources on the street. Saying that our country is going to go in and kick *** and take names is the easy part — doing it could turn out to be a nightmare.
