I was actually kind of close to that, the incident got added to the long list of examples provided to the enlisted. It is incredibly stressful for a PFC when he has to ruin an officer's day, knowing that they'll not be thrown under the bus lets them do their job. When I was going through the School of Infantry I witnessed a PFC, guarding an ammo depot, buttstroke a LT who had ignored the sentry's instructions to leave the secured area. The LT was discharged and the PFC got promoted pretty much on the spot.
