A new twist to weapons of mass destruction...now the question I have is if it turned hetero troops gay, would it turn gay troops hetero?

At least all the troops would be standing rigidly to attention.

And as for the bomb that would make troops attractive to animals would that include sheep?

Pentagon planned love bomb
By Michael Smith, Defence Correspondent
(Filed: 15/01/2005)

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."

It is not known if, or when, the programme was abandoned.

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.

The 1994 plans, from the US air force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the Sunshine Project, which exposes chemical and biological weapons research.

Since 1945 there had been extensive research into the effectiveness of the "Who? Me?" bomb, the declassified documents said.

But it was found "that people in many areas of the world do not find faecal odour offensive since they smell it on a regular basis".

Now why didn't Bill Clinton use this kind of thing as an explanation of Monicagate? "Unscrupulous enemies of our country launched an underhand chenical attack on myself and this innocent young lady..."

Imagine spending all that money to discover that not everyone in the real world whimpers like a Westchester housewife at the smell of human excrement. Some folks are kind of unreal, and when unreal folks get into authority, it gets kinda expensive. Up to $6 Billion dollars or more, as the ad-men like to say.

I seem to remember that Maxwell Smart fought "The Nude Bomb" from Control's arch enemy CHAOS!...

And "Flesh Gordon" (with the help of Dale Ardent) fought "The Sex Ray"...

"Make love, not war"....suddenly, it's not a choice? You KNOW that if it works, someone will steal the ingredients and try to sell them on E-Bay.

Unbelievable! I tell you, it's unbelievable!

No, the gay bomb idea's not unbelievable. The fart bomb idea's not unbelievable. What's unbelievable is that a post mentioning a fart bomb could appear on the Mudcat and, 46 hour later, Spaw's name hasn't been mentioned a single time.

Yea - there was a piece in the New Scientist this week. Apparently the Lawrence Livermore Lab (or some such) requested funds to conduct research a while back. $7 Million. That much is true. And the kind of research suggested was chemicals that could be lobbed into enemy enclaves and make them horny. Certainly a distraction and if it became male bonding a bit more destructive. There were a list of other dirty tricks - not all quite so libidious.

Mind you - British Military had a dirty trick dept during WWII. The most amusing was disguising explosives as dogie-doos and having it planted near the heating boiler. When the Troops shovelled it into the fire - well shit really hit the fans.

libidious

I like that word a lot. A libinous derivative with hints of menace.

damned hard to spell either way, which is a bad characteristic for a word.   Libidinous.
