In and out of tents? Who cares? If they're in the tent, they're presumably off duty. What they do on their own time is their lookout. They can screw around all they want for all I care as long as they don't lose their edge on the battlefield. And there are NO studies that show that they would and plenty of real world examples to show that they wouldn't - -after all, victorious militaries have been visiting whorehouses since wars began. Hell back in the civil war Union general Joe Hooker used to round up prostitutes for his men (they were called Hooker's girls - - where the term hooker comes from). And after getting all the sex they could stand, they proceeded to pummel the rebel army.
This issue doesn't boil down to sex- - that's just the excuse being used to try and keep it from happening.
It boils down to "This is new, and therefore we fear it."
