That's in the James Carroll documentary "Constantine's Sword." 7 years old, but still well worth watching:

Recalls Weinstein, “Curtis said, ‘Could you tell Mom I’m going to be getting into trouble?’ I was floored and asked, ‘What did you do?’ He said, ‘It’s what I’m going to do’ and he explained to me that he had been called a (expletive) Jew, accused of killing Jesus by a number of cadets.”

The young man was so upset over the slurs that he threatened to hit the next person who repeated them. He feared he would end up in a military prison.
