Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

(CBS 5) BERKELEY 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.

Not for the first or likely last time in our association, you have made my head go all 'splodey.

Sounds like a premise for a "Get Smart" movie... sequel to "The Nude Bomb"?

Tight Men in Black

I originally read that as...

"turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interesting to fight."

Which, I think, is the real result of the matter. I mean if a man you're fighting suddenly becomes more interested in having sex ... he's not going to turn and walk away.
Just means the fight has a goal now.

and this is to SUPPORT our troops? Don't ask - No Point (^_^)

Did you need any further proof of the quality of the "leadership" guiding our armed forces? If the brass at the Pentagon think that homosexuality is so repugnant that it can be used as a weapon in the face of the evidence to the contrary, how reliable is their judgment in other area like, oh, enemy capabilities for instance, or dealing with civilian contractors for military procurement?

Not that this kind of thing is new. The alternative to the A-bomb was a proposal to drop hundreds of thousands of bats over Japan. Bats with little tiny incendiary bombs attached. The theory was the bats would roost in the eaves of buildings and then explode. My theory was they could find plenty of "bats" making war plans at the Pentagon.

So they've finally found a use for all of that amyl nitrate left over from the 70s & 80s. They should call it something catchy like the MegaPopper.

You know what would be REALLY ironic? If the bomb were dropped over the enemy troops but the wind suddenly shift to blow the hormones over OUR troops. Brings a whole new aspect to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

Our government is populated by morons.

???

I wonder when this was proposed. At least it's nonlethal, if very bizarre. I suppose when you believe spending $2000 on a hammer anything makes sense.

this amused me greatly.
