The Pentagon examined the possibility of developing an aphrodisiac bomb that would cause enemy troops to find one another sexually irresistible, newly declassified documents reveal.

It also considered development of a "Who? Me?" bomb that would produce odours that suggested that other soldiers were passing wind or had serious halitosis to disrupt enemy morale.

The £5 million six-year research project suggested the use of "chemicals that affect human behaviour so that discipline and morale in enemy units is adversely affected". It said: "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behaviour."

The Pentagon also considered chemicals that would make the enemy troops sexually attractive to "annoying or injurious animals" such as stinging and biting bugs or rodents. It is not known if, or when, the programme was abandoned.

2. Bombs away!

The question is, who will disarm the dictator Bush, when he is clearly pursuing chemical and biological weapons related program activities?

3. Oh,God, The US needs this type of military spending!!!

People,
Please spend more "Chinese" dollars on this type of weapon. The "Rest of the world" dreams about the US spending money on making us all "Happy". We don't care whether it was "Bushco" or "Clintonco" or even bloody "FDROOOOOOO" spend your military budget on these type's of weapons and I swear, "We'll all disarm!!!".

4. They're called "Quaaludes".

Probably don't even have to trick them to take 'em.
The ones that we don't catch with their pants down will probably just drive into the first ditch.

Loved to have been a fly on the wall when the army doctors explained to the volunteers EXACTLY what the research involved..

"But Sir, I thought I was getting a few bucks for Flu research....."
