Personally, I don't see how sexual urges between gay/straight males, or gay/straight females would be any different. Besides, if people are easily distracted by their urges, then I would seriously doubt they are fit for service.

To the best of my understanding, being in the military means being professional - which means you leave personal feelings at the door when on duty. Sexual orientation doesn't matter.
I couldn't possibly shower with the Swedish Bikini Team without some unprofessional feelings. That is a distraction. After such an activity, it would be tough for me to perform a touchy military action because men are made that way. Women are more in touch with how they feel about a mate and Men are visually attracted to a mate to begin with, then an attachment will form. I don't think it would be any different with gays, except reversed.





“War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.”
—John Stuart Mill
