Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

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 soldiers 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.

So who would you use it ?
A staunch unionist parade is of course a given.

Every time I switch on tv I suspect its already been used - carpet bombing in fact.

Mike.

That only works on the lady soldiers Mike.

Careful now. The PC`ness of boards dictates that if a chemical messed with your brain and had you riding men, it would have absoloutely no effect on your social standing, because only a tiny fraction of the Irish population think in such a way Completely useless technology.....

tbh id like to hear from those who entered the guinea pig side of this :eek:

KdjaCL

That would be awesome at a Bohs and Rovers game.


is there an Airforce shop where someone could buy one of these?

Is this even possible? Can you imagine if this was the case? If some chemical could make you gay... then there would have to be an opposite effect chemical reaction out there which would essentially "Cure" gayness in people.
The homophobes would be all about that.

Is this what they mean when they say a 'dirty bomb'?

They have tried drug/chemical treatments to cure offenders attaction to kids, so possibly.

The US gov at the moment doesnt have enough motive to test a "straight bomb".

All their bombs are bent?

It doesn't 'turn you gay', it just makes you want to have sex with anything with a pulse. In the situations they were planning to use it on, it'd be mainly men in the active area hence the name.

Wiki/google it.

Of course staunch unionists tend to admire King Billy (quite why they would admire someone with the title of "Protector of the Republic" and whose political opponents became the Tory party is another question) and King Billy's being as queer as a three-pound note didn't stop his military success.

Indeed, while it is indeed possible that in the Battle of the Boyne he was thinking "phwoar, look at the ass on that Jacobite grenadier" he probably was able to process that thought along with thoughts like "****, there's a Jacobite grenadier close enough that I can see the ****er, somebody shoot the bastard already".

In all, a weapon that could give my opponents something in common with King Billy, Alexander the Great, and Alan Turing wouldn't be the first piece of my arsenal I'd turn to.

Here's the thing though. A strong enough aphrodisiac could lead to something like this.

Think about it.
Soldier A: The enemy are approaching. Prepare to... Damn. I never noticed that fine ass on you before.
Soldier B: Thanks, buddy. Your's is really nice too. Wanna ****?

It would be funny to watch if it actually worked.

It wouldn't be funny really.

I dunno, I think it would make war a lot more entertaining.

we'd def have to have more women in the army though, otherwise what would be the point

Reku

lol
You'd suddenly have loads on all female platoons being former and sent out on the front lines in the hopes that they'd be hit with this. (they'd probably be equipped with helmet cameras and baby oil in their emergency rations too)
Lads will be ever more eager to see the latest footage from the front lines...

As the French would say: "faites l'amour, pas le guerre!"

[My French was always crap, so the spelling of that is probably arseways! (pun intended ) ]

I don't have any particular desire to see thousands of soldiers suddenly strip and start shagging (the male ones anyway) but if the choice is to watch them killing each other instead ... yeah, go for it! \o/

Drop the damn thing on both bloody sides and let them all fire off their guns without fatalities!


p.s. @ Tallie: Billy was gay?! ... back up, please! ... I know one staunch Unionist / Presbyterian / decent bloke behind his socialisation who REALLY needs to hear that!

Government Goon: "Sir, our front line defenses have been breached. We're being overrun!!"

Cigar-chomping Government Goon: "Good God!! We have no other choice. RELEASE THE "FUDGE PACKER"!!"

Government Goon: "But sir............."

Cigar-chomping Government Goon: "Dammit man release it!!

*After some bizzare procedures involving 69 keys, two bananas and a quizzical nod to each other the missile is released*

Government Goon: "Fudge Packer" has been released, sir!"

Cigar-chomping Government Goon: "May God have mercy on those brave souls out there!!"

a gay bomb would be too weird and just wrong.
a bomb that would destroy gays would be better.

In fairness quite a few bombs, be they cluster bombs or agent orange, are "quite wrong".

Talliesin

Most bombs already manage to kill gays. :rolleyes:

Was it worth opening an account just for that?

Talliesin

Well, they have now learnt that gays aren't bomb-proof like they'd previously thought, so they profited from it.

Indeed. If they were, to save on newbie recruitment costs Al Quaeda would adopt a dont ask dont tell attitude to its "suicide" squads.

ZOMG! Tha Gopher, that was actually funny. Well done.

OMEGA-KNO3 ... hmm, not a bad choice of user name, though, given that "omega" is sometimes used to signify "the ultimate" ...
