Guys, I found this randomly yesterday, and I was rofl for like 5 minutes. Apparently the US air force wanted to make a bomb that would turn enemy troops gay and make them want to have sex with each other. They wouldn't be able to put up a fight because they'd be too busy boinking. I know, it sounds ridiculous, and that's what I thought until I calmed down a bit and started to think about it rationally. I mean, think, could this be a legit nonlethal weapon? It's certainly less destructive than even tear gas, and really, when you break it down to basics, you're giving them pleasure.
I mean, like, is this a more humane weapon? Also, what would you do if you were gay bombed?
Air Force Considered Gay 'Love Bomb' Against Enemies
Tuesday , June 12, 2007
WASHINGTON —
The Air Force on Tuesday confirmed a report that in 1994 a military researcher requested $7.5 million to develop a non-lethal "love bomb" that would chemically alter the state of mind of enemy troops and make them want to have sex with each other rather than fight.
Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col. Cathy Reardon said the idea was proposed by an Air Force researcher at a lab at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas, but it was rejected by the Defense Department. Officials noted that the Air Force constantly is considering funding proposals.
No money was spent, Reardon said, and no such weapons are being considered. The goal was to create a non-lethal weapon to be used against enemy troops.
First reported by KPIX-TV in San Francisco, the discovery of the "gay bomb" proposal came from a Freedom of Information Act request made by Edward Hammond of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, a watchdog group that tracks military spending.

As part of the military's goal of developing 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 proposal also offered other ideas, such as a "sex attractant" chemical that would make "annoying and injurious creatures" like stinging bugs more aggressive and draw them to the enemy's position. Another chemical would leave such a strong stench, the enemy would be detectable for weeks.
A portion of the proposal notes that some of the chemicals could be used on both enemy personnel and civilians and would require decontamination countermeasures to nullify the effects.
A Defense Department spokesman told FOX News that he was not aware of any "love bomb" proposal but called the idea one of the most ridiculous things he'd heard.
