US military pondered love not war



BBC/London, Saturday, 15 January, 2005, 06:38 GMT



The US military investigated building a "gay bomb", which would make enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other, government papers say.



The US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals".



The plans were obtained under the US Freedom of Information by the Sunshine Project, a group which monitors research into chemical and biological weapons.



The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behaviour among troops, causing what the military called a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale.



Scientists also reportedly considered a "sting me/attack me" chemical weapon to attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats towards enemy troops.



A substance to make the skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight was also pondered.



Another idea was to develop a chemical causing "severe and lasting halitosis", so that enemy forces would be obvious even when they tried to blend in with civilians.



In a variation on that idea, researchers pondered a "Who? Me?" bomb, which would simulate flatulence in enemy ranks.

As long as the U.S. 'test' this Frankenstein-nonsense on themselves....

I can remember a time when Germans did all their testing on Jews.

In a related story, the substance has already been tested on navy soldiers, but thought to have no effect since no difference in sexual preference could be tracked.





They want you, they want you, they want you as a new recruit.
