A gay bomb
Yes, this makes perfect sense to me:
A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsequently rejected, building the so-called “Gay Bomb.”
Rejected? Heavens why? Sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea to me. Please, tell me more:
As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, “One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior.”
The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.
“The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another,” Hammond said after reviewing the documents.
$7.5 million sounds about right. I imagine a gay bomb would be rather expensive but thats the kind of thing you don’t want to do on the cheap, right? I tried to think of ways to work Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in here but for the life of me I can’t figure out how. Ah well.
Holla at me
