I talked about this with my Marines when we were deployed somewhere. The consensus was (we were very tight, mind you, very) that they would look the other way.

Now, if there was a guy in the unit who didn't pull his load, not a team player, etc., AND was gay, that guy would almost certainly get a beating then would disappear the next day, out of the service. Any guy who could endanger you by being lazy would stand a chance of getting a beating.

Some of the other interesting thoughts can be reflected in this one big logistical question, which is especially significant when deployed in a combat area:

1. do you have separate toilets/showers/squad bays
2. will gays/lesbians demand separate facilities
3. will hetero's demand separate facilities

Then, of course, the levity hits and someone brings up the bit about if you were a straight guy and were able to take a shower with 20 chicks...
