US Military Considered "Gay Bomb"

[LiberalEsto]

The US military investigated building a "gay bomb", which would make enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other, government papers say.
Other weapons that never saw the light of day include one to make soldiers obvious by their bad breath.

The US defence department considered various non-lethal chemicals meant to disrupt enemy discipline and morale.

The 1994 plans were for a six-year project costing $7.5m, but they were never pursued.

Wouldn't you love to use this weapon on some homophobic religious wingnuts and see if their anti-gay attitudes change!

1. Might be interesting to drop one on Alabama. n/t

[frogfromthenorth2]

2. Yeah, right... I believe that...

[Just Me]

20. Actually, this makes so-called "conspiracy theorists" look damn good.

:bounce:

Hey, these power-mongering wackos have and will consider anything it takes to control humanity. They are so freakin' self-centered and controlling that they have no balance, whatsoever, and really should be confined to a place where they can no longer harm the rest of us.

3. Drop it on Washington DC!!! January 20th!!!

And let the fun begin!!!

Wolfwitz on Rummy, The Dickster making 'eyes' at Colin Powell...

The possibilities are endless...

6. Lady Laura on Ann Coulter! n/t

[atommom]

4. Hard to believe they'd seriously consider that, but it is funny.

I suggest we test it on the "God Hates Fags" picketers.

5. I see a movie in the making

a painfully bad "B" movie.

[TahitiNut]

7. Was it tested on the TANG in 1969??

:evilgrin:

[VegasWolf]

9. I think it was tested in San Francisco in 1962! n/t

[mrstick]

8. to detect it do you need Gay-dar?

[cruadin]

10. I know this is a BBC source, but....

I kinda think this is a spoof of weapons proposals.

[Gman]

11. This is probably the fifth time this has been posted

in the last week or so.

[Liberal Veteran]

12. Doesn't this fly in the face of homosexuality being a choice?

:shrug:

[VegasWolf]

14. The only known cure is a good bible whacking. n/t

[gollygee]

23. Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Stop using logic! Stop making sense!

Why do you hate America??

(just kidding by the way :D )

[TwentyFive]

13. No!!!! Keep this away from fundie churches!

Fundamentalist christianity attracts enough child molestors and perverts as it is.

Make these molestors any more sexually active....and they will have to go molest and grope people in the general community. I say keep the molesters inside the church where they belong.

15. They should test the "bad breath" thingy at the coronation.

"Wouldn't you love to use this weapon on some homophobic religious wingnuts and see if their anti-gay attitudes change!"

Nah... just get them all high, and they'll just unravel. Ever wonder why they are soooo against reefer. They're afraid the stuff might get them in touch with themselves. Talk about a major "Buzz-Kill" or maybe not?

I think I'll smoke for everyone of them tonight.

[Nitrogenica]

17. Obviously they tested the halitosis bomb on Anne Coulter.

[cdsilv]

18. Heard this on NPR today....

on "Wait wait don't tell me". According to them
it's real - the air force studied it but went no further

[Hissyspit]

19. What If Terrorists Got A Hold Of This??!!

That's the angle John Waters should have used in "A Dirty Shame." He could have made a Hollywood blockbuster.

...and what is an "aphrodisiac chemical," anyway? It has been my understanding that there are no true aphrodisiacs. Any chemists care to weigh in on this?

[theresistance]

21. Well, KAOS developned a nude bomb...(think Get Smart)

[jmowreader]

22. Who remembers Fat Freddy's Cat?

Fat Freddy's Cat was a large orange tabby that belonged to Fat Freddy Freak of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. (It's a drug-oriented comic strip.)

In one of FFC's adventures, he was a secret agent sent out to kill the evil chemist who invented "Hee Hee Hee," a drug that was said to be the gravest threat America has ever had to face because it "turns you queer."

Obviously the government never really realized it was a JOKE, dammit!

[Jack Rabbit]

24. Sounds like it would come from the Bushies

It doesn't sound reality-based.
