Wow... the gay bomb!

[Lord Bohemond]

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.

****... that'll teach the bastards! I'll bet the affected units would just desert... the poor devils would be so humiliated they'd never want to show their faces again!

Though this one sounds pretty innovative too:

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

Apparently being homomexual is a blow for morale. How nice. And distasteful, too. Well, prejudice is alive and kicking in the Pentagon. Or was then, anyway.

You're being a little overly sensitive Ozy. It isn't stated anywhere that homosexuality itself is distateful, rather the act of forcing homosexuality onto another person would be. I think we can all agree that forcing a sexual orientation, homo or hetero onto somebody is distasteful. Unless of course, you're a far right conservative, in which case I'm sure you wouldn't agree...

It seems the BBC is shy on any real news to report. That, or a story like this is a lot funnier to Brits in general than it is to me.

Dude, don't take everything so personally. If a bunch of straight men suddenly started getting jiggy in the trenches, that would be a blow to morale. Just think about it.





Eeew.

[Lord Bohemond]

I dunno about you... but I would be pretty pissed off if my elite jihadist troops were hit by that weapon.

Those damn infidels... what will they hit us with next? *runs from horde of angry rats*

[Kanaric]

It would work actually against many groups of people if its "distasteful" or bigoted. I'd say a lot of people in foreign countries, especially the middle east, would take a morale hit from an uncontrolable caligulaesque experiance.

95% of the male population in America would be humiliated by that.

I can see them calling it the greek orgy bomb.

A Greek and an Italian were arguing about which culture was the best.

Greek:"Well, we built the partenon!" the Greek boasts.

Italian: "Yeah... well, we built the Roman roads!"

G: "We invented philosophy!"

I: "We brought civilization to Europe!"

G: "We practically INVENTED love."

I: "True... but we were the ones who started doing it with women."

[JaM]

ITs not,but when a normal hetero is forced to be homosexual... thats distastefull...and big blow to morale...

Its definately homophobic to say that straight men would lose morale over sudden lust for their comrades -_- . Its an interesting idea that i doubt will ever go anywhere

You can call it "homophobic" all you want, but it's true, no matter how much you pretend it isn't.

i'm sure they would in any nation. However we dont "stone" people for that in this country, over there I wonder what would happen.

It works on the same principle as feeding prisoners pork, or coating our bullets with pig blood... to use their beliefs against them. You're right, that would be interesting to watch.

What concerns me is a friendly fire incident.............

Anyway back s to the walls lads we have another wave of "insert" whichever enemy you like here" coming.

Oh God, that would be ugly. Perhaps we should equip our troops with an ancedote. But I think chemical warfare protection would work against the gay bomb.

[Lord Bohemond]

A blank gay bomb? What would that be? Does it render the troops a-sexual?

[LoZz]

i am afraid the gaybomb is now useless



BEHOLD! GAYDAR! and so the armes race continues.

[Lord Bohemond]

So true. But such a weapon would be devastating. A pity. A real pity.

[Denny Crane!]

lol at this thread.

if they could invent one that would just promote that kind of behaviour in general (just a general sex bomb, tom jones style) I would drop it in the nearest pub and be standing next to the hottest girl at the time.

[Marshal Qin]
