The idea of fostering homosexuality among the enemy figured in a declassified six-year, $7.5 million request from a laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio for funding of non-lethal chemical weapon research. The proposal, disclosed in response to a Freedom of Information request, called for developing chemicals affecting human behavior "so that discipline and morale in enemy units is adversely affected." "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior," said the document, obtained by the Sunshine Project. The watchdog group posted the partly blacked-out, three-page document on its Web site. Lt. Col. Barry Venable of the Army, a Defense Department spokesman, said: "This suggestion arose essentially from a brainstorming session, and it was rejected out of hand." The Air Force Research Laboratory also suggested using chemicals that could be sprayed on enemy positions to attract stinging and biting bugs, rodents and larger animals. Another idea involved creating "severe and lasting halitosis" to help sniff out fighters trying to blend with civilians. The U.S. military remains committed to developing less-than-lethal weapons that pass stringent legal reviews and are consistent with international treaties, said Captain Dan McSweeny of the Marine Corps, a spokesman for the Pentagon unit spearheading their introduction. "We feel it's very important to offer our deployed service members and their commanders a greater range of options in dealing with increasingly complex operational environments," said McSweeny, of the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate.

Friedchiken 0 Posted January 17, 2005 And with foriegn ignorance in extremely "pious" countries, I'm sure that the "lethal" part would come from all the executions and lynchings for being "indecent." (j/k) Seriously though, it makes you wonder if the developers and thinkers of this idea have serious misunderstandings about the homo-sexual community.

sputnik monroe 102 Posted January 18, 2005 It definitly wouldn't be a last resort weapon. Can you imagine the horror? You're surrounded and out numbered 100 to 1, so your commander orders this gas weapon used on the enemy. The moment the enemy charged after being gassed with that, well I'd probably just shoot my self. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The moment the enemy charged after being gassed with that, well I'd probably just shoot my self. What if it works the other way around? You're surrounded and outnumbered by 100:1, and your commander orders you to use it on yourselves and do a counterattack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently there are such things as "Rear Admiral, Lower Half" and "Rear Admiral, Upper Half". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
