Air Force Considered Gay 'Love Bomb' Against Enemies

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.

ROFL
What a strange idea. Heck of it is, how do you make sure it doesn't affect your own troops?

I guess that is just what we need....LOL a bunch of horny Iragis...LOLOL
Beats what they do now.

HAHA! No kidding, right?

And Tink, if it affects our troops and theirs too.....I guess that falls into the "make love not war" category? LOL!!!

It sounds like something that could be duplicated and used against US! How awful!

This is interesting.. I read today that the pentagon confirmed theyre developing a "gay bomb" that, once dropped, changes the horomones of the enemy, turning them gay..I wonder if theyre related..

Hmm! I had to look that one up. I did find this website that said they confirmed that it was "considered"....though it doesn't seem like it passed enough to be funded. (Eh?)

"The Pentagon has confirmed that a plan was floated to create a "gay bomb" that would blind enemy troops with lust and make them want to have sex with each other then and there on the battlefield. It was, the US department of defence hastened to add, rejected and no money was spent on the project but that has not stopped the story rolling on." (link)

"Armed and Amorous" (lol) link

Haha,m how bizar!

Thats bizar indeed LOL

Picture that in your mind!

That's a classic idea. I wonder how long the effect lasts.
I'd personally like some heterosexual men left, though.

Haha, no kidding, right?

I hope there isn't a draft, b/c I don't want my husband going to war now! HAHA!

Speaking of lasting effects, will the soldiers that do come home suddenly enjoy shopping and chit-chat? (LOL)

Hide your lipstick and those new shoes! New gifts for men - subscriptions to People Magazine and spa days.

HAHA! Hide your hair-styling products, too! And God-forbid you need to hide your nail polish. :p

Val, they say if there is a draft, it will be both women and men, and college will not be an exemption, so the rich will not be able to have their children in college forever to avoid the draft.

The "love bomb" is a scary & disgusting thought. Surely they can come up with something better than that!!!

Marilyn,

This is what happens when men run things! Would a woman ever think of that?
We would have settled this nonsense long ago and then gone for a pedicure.
