Prove to me that unit cohesiveness wouldnt suffer if you learned someone was doing it standing up.

I have never been in the military, but have several friends that have. I asked one of them, a Marine who fought in the first gulf war, if the thought knowing a few of his fellow soldiers was gay would bother him. He said it wouldn't as long as they didn't make a move on anyone and did their job.
He did have an interesting story about that though. During Desert Storm he spent about 9 months basically living in the desert as they trained and waited to fight. At one point he developed a rash so he goes to the medic. The medic tells him this type of rash is common considering their living conditions, the heat etc. He has a cream that will help it. My buddy holds out his hand so the medic can put the cream in his hand and he can rub it in. The medic insists that he needs to apply it to make sure it is done right. My friend tells him that he has the rash on his arm, which the medic is welcome to apply creme to, but it is also on his balls and he doesn't want the medic rubbing his balls. The medic still insists on applying the creme. They have an argument about this for a few minutes and my buddy leaves without any creme. He goes and tells his lieutenant who goes to the medic, gets the tube a creme and brings it to my buddy. All is fine. The next morning that medic was gone and a new guy was there.
My buddy said he didn't know the medic was gay, but everyone that heard the story assumed he was and that he wanted to feel my buddy's balls which would have made dealing with him difficult so they were glad they got rid of him. The first thing the new guy told them all is that he would not be handling anyone's nuts.
