Posted by: McQ on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 This had to have been the result of some drunken discussion somewhere. The fact that it was actually taken seriously afterward has to make you feel a little better about the recent shakeup in the Pentagon: What if it could release a chemical that would make an opposing army's soldiers think more about the physical attributes of their comrades in arms than the threat posed by the enemy? And thus the "gay bomb" was born. Far from being the product of conspiracy theorists, documents released to a biological weapons watchdog in Austin, Texas confirm that the US military did investigate the idea. It was included in a CD-Rom produced by the US military in 2000 and submitted to the National Academy of Sciences in 2002. The documents show that $7.5m was requested to develop the weapon.Good grief. Aaron Belkin, director of the University of California's Michael Palm Centre, which studies the issue of gays in the military, said: "The idea that you could submit someone to some aerosol spray and change their sexual behaviour is ludicrous."Obviously a CIA inspired bomb (pun intended). As Scott Jacobs, who pointed this out to me said, "the bomb that dare not speak its name". Wonder what Saddam would have paid for that puppy. |
