The Gay Bomb?
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Military, Money
Somebody at the Pentagon actually wanted to build a bomb that would have made soldiers want to screw each other? Really?
(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 subsequently 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.
Will this be the post that spawned a thousand jokes?

Suddenly, maintaining munitions security would become vastly more critical to our military!

Following up on Mike’s: When released it is an orchid in bud and when detonated it is a marvelous dendrobium.

“The United States Air Force briefly considered building a bomb that would make enemy soldiers turn gay.”
If my memory serves me right the ancient greek civilization of Sparta was predominantly gay and they were infamous fierce warriors. I don’t think this is the first crazy idea the defense community has come up and I don’t think it will be the last. You’ve got to give them credit for creativity though.
