I thought there was a mention of marines in that speech. If so, it 
would speak volumes for the Sarge's notion of comradely love.

Which brings to mind the great Franchot Tone vehicle, Frank Borsage's 
3 Comrades- where the homoerotic passions are channelled through the 
emaciated form of Margaret Sullavan. 8 out of ten hankies as MS 
deliberately triggers a massive (and fatal)  internal hemmorage, in 
order to spare the comrades from their beard's astronomical 
sanatorium bills.

ps. thanks to spencer t for motivating me to get Warlock.
