    (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.

    Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."

    Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.

    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."

    :cool: :cool: :p

    Early reports show the bomb was tested in a non-lethal fashion over the formerly straight Fire Island... ;)

    Clearly, it needs to be followed up with a second bomb. The nude bomb, so that the gaydar can follow all the affected targets appropriately.

    So the enemy soldiers turn gay and end up going after the US troops?
    Now there's an idea that wasn't completely thought through :rolleyes:

    Look out Maverick!

    How come is this funny
    This is not any different than raping hostages.

    Respect the enemy to keep your dignity.

    So I guess the main problem was that they'd have to wait too long for the drug to wear off in order to torture them without them enjoying it.

    That volleyball scene from Top Gun makes a lot more sense now. That's for sure.

    I did read the article a while before you posted it here, actually. I think you actually fail to see any humor in it and just put another pin in your "america sucks" hat, didn't you?
