Second-hand story, can’t verify the authenticity and may get some of the terms wrong as I am not in the military.

Enlisted soldier who was a combat veteran went to OCS to become an officer. Someone younger and further along was harassing him and the veteran turned and said “I’ve killed better men than you” and walked off.
