Pentagon sought to develop "gay bomb"


UM-Bot

Recommended Posts

user posted image rA Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb.

lmao... This was covered by the BBC back in 2005 in fact I saw it on their site just the other day as the most e-mailed news stories. As much as I love advancements I really doubt I would like to see this one take place. Just a cruel psychololical warfare and just... Ack! Quite amusing though... And it would be really effective in combat just well you know... Just nasty. :lol: Once used against another army that army would look quickly to use and make it against us and that's something you've got to consider.

I remember seeing this on the BBC website a couple of years ago aswell. There were a few other ideas that included a bomb that would cause halitosis and another that would attract "swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats towards enemy troops".

*is in awe of the genius behind the premise*

My friend had a pretty good idea, A THC bomb, so everyone would be too busy greening out to do anything.

I do not know about the gay part but I thought a drug was all readymade to make people want to make love not war. Called LSD and Pot. All we would have to do is drop a few bricks of weed right in middle of the other camp and bingo they will be dropping their guns and guns and grabbing lava lamps. We even could tell them “Free snacks if you give up!”

I think all war is like the special Olympic. It does not matter who wins or loses there both retarded. Rather than work on weapons of war they should be thinking on how in the heck we are going to get off this rock we call earth when this place goes to hell. From asteroids, volcanoes, global warming and any of the 1,000s of other stuff that could wipe man off the face of this earth not to say anything about what our own kind is doing to each other we need to find a way to expand before it is too late instead of fighting for oil, land are “shutter” in the name of god.

Funny...couldn't help laughing...but probably not PC and could be offensive to some.

i remember this idea of a "PAT" bomb . remember pat from the SNL tv show ?

it was under bill clintons " non-lethal " weapons development development for a "green-war" . it was a strategic device supposed to break a nations will to make war .

the truth is it was most like one of those "obvious dead end projects" where insiders fill their pockets with taxpayer $$$

sort of like the regan era david ADA tank --ended up costing $1.6++ billion 1980s dollars .

billions was spent on non-lethal devices--when we should have been developing more lethal small arms-- bring back the 30 cal !!! LOL

Maybe they really did develop it and tested it secretly by dropping it in San Francisco.

if it works, and I'm guessing it might (military seems pretty serious)... is there a way to reverse it or is it temporary or...?

I dont think they were planning on making people gay only promicuous and particularly aroused at the time. Sex makes EVERYONE do crazy things.

I know there are drugs and gases that can make you aroused but not able to overwhelm someone so much that they just jump on whomever is next to them.

That might be offensive to any Muslim warriors that we might use it against :o

And I believe using a weapon like this would open the door to a larger scale of chemical warfare. I'd rather we not even have though about it, but what's done is done. Using a THC bomb is also constituted as chemical warfare and can be dangerous. People walking out of windows because they're involuntarily hallucinating. Besides..all the opposing army has to do is take hostages or civilians and have them at each unit. We aren't allowed to attack civilians.

Hey, what's wrong with nonlethal was to deal with conflict? ANything is better than having to shoot, blow up, or gas/subject a person to lethal chemical warfare. Something that gets soldiers incredibly aroused or high is worth looking into. They'd be so hot and out of it that we can just swoop in and take care of the situation. This way there will be no having to counsel troops suffering PTSD because they've killed someone and experienced the carnage that goes along with that.

lmao! I think the idea is including some mdma-type of chemical to make them all... umm, warm and fuzzy inside. ;)

Wow, gay bomb, and just when you think you've heard of everything. You know what this sounds like to me.. one of those games that come out of Japan. Ya know. Kinda like Angel's Feather, Apocripha0, Togainu no Chi, Silver Chaos, you get the picture.

The story and the idea is a whole lot of bull. If they could build such a bomb then that would mean that they could make all the so called gay men into hetrosexuals. I wonder if they could make a bomb what would make us all smarter. That would be better. But don't count on it.

LMAO! Some of these comments are priceless. Ya... I gotta agree that the "gay bomb" is a big waste. Here you have an intelligent group of professonal scientists that are suppose to find ways to engineer, enhance, create, etc..., etc... to improve weapons for military warfare... but you come up with one of the most non-intimidating weapons called the "gay bomb" in which the only good that will come out of this is breaking the guiness world record of gay orgies and getting soldiers off. I'm sure some soldiers would dare you throw some their way.

A few things to put this back into perspective:

1. The bomb was proposed. The $7.2 million requested to develop it was denied. Thus, no money was spent on it. The military recognized the ridiculousness of the proposal.

In the 80s and 90s "Think Tanks" were very popular. Groups of eggheads got together, came up with seemingly incredible ideas, then researched their feasibility. Often they were not, but some of the components of the overall plan were discovered and were useful.

For example, "Wouldn't it be cool to have a bullet with an on-board computer that sought out a target it was programmed for?" The technology to make such a bullet may not exist, but it might lead to the creation of smaller computer components that could be used in aircraft, where weight is a factor.

2. This was proposed and denied 13 years ago, in 1994. I recall hearing of it a few years ago. Why is this suddenly making the rounds again? It's anti-military propaganda promulgated by Berkeley.

3. Berkeley is hardly a bastion of objecivity. If you agree with that community's largely leftist views, you're okay. Disagree and suddenly you're a paranoid right-winger, ignorant or delusional. Only its opinion is valid. I know. I've had to deal with Berkeleyites in a military environment. Many of them would totally dissolve any form of military. Historically, that always leads to chaos, if not invasion. They do not live in the real world.

4. This Berkeley group is certainly entitled to its opinion. But to dredge up an old news report and present it as recent? Hardly an ethical thing to do.

What a hue and cry would erupt if suddenly the media reported that many Berkeleyites spit on, and assaulted, soldiers coming home from Vietnam. They'd do it again today too, to soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, if they knew they could get away with it without public derision.

5. This "gay bomb" was very likely released by the military as "disinformation."

It causes your enemy to ponder whether you can do it, and to spend money to counter it. Defense and war are not only waged militarily, but economically. If you can divert a potential enemy's funding away from "bombs and bullets" to defenses against something he suspects you may use someday, you weaken his ability to wage conventional warfare. It's an ancient strategy and quite effective if the enemy thinks you're up to something. In modern parlance it's called, "faking out."

i'm guessing this "gay bomb" implied all gay people are sexual deviants?

it wouldn't have worked on me, that's for sure. xo
