Having spent more than 20 years in the US armed forces, I can say it is
widely used in the US military, although it isn't used in past tense as you
have described, typically it is said as the link describes.

That's ok, I'm still trying to figure out where "Bum-f**ked Egypt" comes
from.

I know the proper usage in a sentence like "It's in the middle of Bum-f**ked
Egypt", but what's its origin?
