It should be balls-to-the-wall, full mobilization, unconditional surrender, blast the kingdom come out of the enemy until they cry uncle.

I agree of course. Except for the balls-to-the-wall part which I finally realized makes no sense in any literal sense. Is it sports or military slang? We hear it all the time but I keep wondering if anyone knows what is meant by it.
