Wait, what do you mean by a cot? In my British English a cot is what babies sleep in and has tall bars on the sides to stop them falling out. I’m guessing this isn’t the same.
My bad, I didn’t realize it was called by another name elsewhere. It looks just like this [USGI Military Folding Cot https://a.co/d/c0K3vCF](USGI Military Folding Cot https://a.co/d/c0K3vCF)
What do they call those where you’re from?
To be fair, that LT would feel right at home in what you’re describing (we call that a “crib” in the US), he was such an ignorant ass.
In the UK a crib is a smaller cot for newborns. And what you call a cot looks like a stretcher with trampoline legs, I haven’t ever seen one of these to hear what Brits call them.

I think that’s called a camp bed.
So really, it presents as gayer than a regular bed and the whole endeavour was counterproductive.
I guess what’s called a ‘crib’ in the UK is what we’d call a ‘bassinet’ in the US?
Surely there is a name for it in Brittain since their soldiers probably use something similar.
Probably, but I’m not/don’t interact often with soldiers, so I don’t know
it’s like a glorified stretcher
