"The Camel" joke

In a far away middle eastern country, a brigade of American soldiers were stationed at a camp, outside of town. A new brigade commander comes over to take up command after the earlier one retires.

He asks the sargeant to take him around the camp, so he can familiarise himself. They go all around the camp and comes to closed shed. The commander inquires what's inside. The sergeant says there is a camel inside.

When the commander asks why the sergeant hesitates a bit and goes in to an explanation with a embarrassed face, "Well sir our men are far away from their wives and girlfriends, so when they don't do it for a long time it can get very frustrating, so we use the camel to.."

The commander bursts out furiously "That's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard, I command you to halt this immediately. We are a fighting unit, not a bunch of wild animals!" he yells and walks away steaming. Time goes by and the commander starts feeling the effects of being away from his own wife.

So he goes and meets the sergeant in private and asks "Is the camel still there?" with a desperate look on his face. The sergeant smiles knowingly and nods, "Yes sir. The camel will be available this evening sir!" So at the said time the commander walks in to the shed after making sure that no one sees him. There he finds a very cute looking camel. Beside the the camel he finds a small stool also.

He keeps the stool behind the camel, gets on it, lowers his trouser and starts making love to the animal. The camel starts wondering what's happening with a very bewildered look on it's cute face.

Just then the sergeant walks in to the shed wondering why the commander was getting late. he seems somewhat taken back with what he sees.

But very politely he asks "Sir wouldn't it have been more comfortable for you to use the camel to go in to the town and pick up a girl as everybody else does.....?"
