It's not their being in a foxhole, together, in combat, that is problematic in and of itself. It's the downtime situations and events – and the social/psychological ramifications thereof, which could affect soldierly trust and morale – that took place prior to their being in a foxhole together, that could cause serious problems.
No, gay guys aren't going to look at every situation sexually, and I'm sure the last thing on their mind in the middle of combat – even in a foxhole, with "nuts to butt" – would be sex. Still, gays males are still
male, thus they are, like most all other males,
visually sexually stimulated (far more so than women are), which could easily cause, at the very least, discomfort and unease among their heterosexual peers during downtime in the barracks and in the showers, what with soldiers' closeness to one another and their utter lack of privacy.
