Pentagon Confirms That They Tried To Build A “Gay Bomb”

Weird…

(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.

You’d think the folks in Berkeley, of all places, would be impressed with this initiative. You know, “make love not war?”

    From the article:
    “And its absurd because there’s so much medical data that shows that sexual orientation is immutable and cannot be changed.”

    Right. Which is why there’s no more homosexual activity in prison than anywhere else, right?

    Look, I don’t have a problem with them objecting to the idea, but to deny that heterosexual people in a single sex environment will not consider homosexual behavior given enough frustration is nuts. (and most of the folks we’d be using this on _would_ be a single sex environment – not that many countries with female troops in the line).

    This is proof of the absurd lengths that the gummint goes to in the cause of “spreading diversity.” Multi-culturalism run amok, I say.

    Heh, did the Berkelians decide this was a bad thing, or a good thing?

    Oh I can just see it now… this piped in from the military’s version of Google Earth, a/v surveillance from a Global Hawk homes in on an enemy foxhole, D+45 minutes, the Fag-Gas is wearing off:

    Abdul: What in the name of Allah are you doing? !

    Akmed: ME? May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits! — look what a mess you made. How will I explain this to the platoon sergeant?

    Abdul: Verily, we will not go to paradise to have 72 virgins, I will have to stone you to death brother Akmed!

    Akmed: and I, you!

    This should put the “fear Factor” in becoming a POW.

    Obviously the Chinese figured this one out decades ago, and dropped a test bomb on San Francisco.

    Uh, hello. How about having integrated fighting forces and having the heterosexuals thinking about sex with the opposite sex heterosexuals in their units fighting?

    I think using a gay bomb on my to get me thinking about getting a bj from Lance Corporal Bob over here is probably less likely than getting me thinking about a bj from PFC Misty.

    My idea–build an elite paratrooper squad of airborn prostitutes.

    Well dang,

    Forget now the Army parlance of vertical envelopment (parachute drop) , this gives the term rear area penetration a whole new meaning.

    Wow! Now that’s quite a “bomb scare”.

    turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

    Since when is any type of male not more interested in sex than fighting? If air and water weren’t a necessity then sex would top the list … ;)

    You know, stuff like this makes me question the very reason for our existence. Is thia real? I mean, the writers at National Lampoon couldn’t come up with anything this bizarre.

    Who’s idea was this anyway? And who the hell actually listened to him in the first place?

    My head hurts. I had WAY too much fun last night. And now…this. Did I wake up in the Twilight Zone?

    Gay bomb. Sheesh.
