I couldn’t pass this up. The military briefly looked into making a gay bomb. Let’s let the article tell the story:
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."
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 irresistibly attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.
"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soldiers would become gay," explained Hammond.
The Pentagon told CBS 5 that the proposal was made by the Air Force in 1994.

So many jokes…and stereotypes. It sounds like a plot for porn film. Man, there’s war going on, but my armor is really chaffing me. Mind if I take off my pants? (cue bad seventies funk music). Or maybe they thought the enemy would throw down their weapons and start singing show tunes? Or maybe make bitchy remarks about the enemy’s uniforms? Ask for a minimosa with their MRE?
I know this is Ohio in 1994, but really, who has this job? This is an example of the Peter Principle. This really illustrates the oxymoron, military intelligence. This is why, satire is impossible.
