Pentagon reveals rejected chemical weapons (For a SEX BOMB)
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 10:49 PM by doxieone
THE Pentagon considered developing a host of non-lethal chemical weapons that would disrupt discipline and morale among enemy troops, newly declassified documents reveal.



Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, the proposal says.

16. Been there, done with that.
Fri 24 May 2002
BRITISH marines returning from an operation deep in the Afghan mountains spoke last night of an alarming new threat - being propositioned by swarms of gay local farmers.
<snip>
Originally, the marines had sent patrols into several villages in the mountains near the town of Khost, hoping to catch up with al-Qaeda suspects who last week fought a four-hour gun battle with soldiers of the Australian SAS. The hardened troops, their faces covered in camouflage cream and weight down with weapons, radios and ammunition, were confronted with Afghans wanting to stroke their hair.

"It was hell," said Corporal Paul Richard, 20. "Every village we went into we got a group of men wearing make-up coming up, stroking our hair and cheeks and making kissing noises."

40. and now i think i've seen everything and can die happy.
:yourock: :evilgrin:

oh my god that's sooooooo funny! :D

i guess several years of taliban repression can do that to the gay community there. but god how i love the lead sentence:

"BRITISH marines returning from an operation deep in the Afghan mountains spoke last night of an alarming new threat - being propositioned by swarms of gay local farmers."

i am now having visions of 700 bollywood extras running across those gorgeous green hills from the 'sound of music' dressed like afghani farmers with make-up on making kissing noises chasing this elite crack troop of soldiers, fleeing for their lives.

:7

i'm probably gonna laugh myself to sleep, now.

Now if you combined the two, you could really harass the troops. Oh, excuse me, I mean enemy.

26. Sure beats the "god was I drunk last night" excuse.
But the marines weren't gay - because everyone knows that only gay marines kiss back!

This is soooo rich on soooo many levels.

Where to begin.

28. If pheromones are involved,
I'd say not, AND, being gay myself, I'm totally behind this kind of weapon. If "they" have a cultural issue with homosexuality in general, I say use it against them.

I have a hard time equating concentrations of substances produced by the human body or concentrations of substances the human body is built to accept as a form of banned chemical weaponry.

All that prudish defensiveness aside, this is deliciously funny. Sooooo, it's a choice, huh? OOOooooookaaaaaaaayyyyyy.

47. Me too!
I used to be against the mentality of lesbians who try to turn straight women, but lately, the idea is beginning to appeal to me. I hate Rockingham, NC. There are no non homophobic people here. Including one lesbian I know who hates gay men. Wtf? I don't get people. I have officially heard it all now. Nothing will ever shock me again.

27. Great idea. Test it on the US Army, first. ;-)
Testing it on our own side would fit into the long tradition of using our soldiers as guinea pigs, one that includes surreptitiously feeding them LSD and bathing them in atomic radiation. You can always count on Uncle Sam to take care of ya. ;-)

Heh heh--call it the Lincoln Bomb.

heh, makes me remember a gay marine joke:
how can you tell between a nelly marine and a straight marine? because the straight marine grabs his ankles and holds his own legs up, soldier!

oooh, sorry that might've been naughty for the teeny-bop crowd :7

35. Obsessed
these people are just obsessed with homosexuality. Something has got to be done to get them all out of the closet. Maybe this is the answer. Somebody has to develope a way to get them all to let down their defenses and come out of the closet once and for all so we can all go back to being Americans. If a sex bomb is what it takes to save us then so be it.

I was thinking that all of us hot blooded homos have a duty to our country to seduce these closet cases so they get it out of their system. When you identify your neighbor as a conservative homophobe you owe it to your country to help them through their coming out process. We would all be alot happier if flaming cases like Jerry Fallwell could be the queen he is. Some big hairy bear type needs to sweep him off his feet.

"Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, the proposal says."

I guess after some carefull thought they realized rather than a blow to morale...pardon the pun ?

36. This sounds like a hasty excuse
a couple of scientists came up with the explain getting caught doing the dirty late nights in the lab.

"Uh, we're working on a new weapon...and it must have leaked out into the air. It's a....sex....weapon. Yeah! That's it! A sex weapon that makes the soldiers irrestibly attracted to each other. And we must have spilled some of it. Yeah, that's the ticket."
