Pentagon Reveals Rejected Weapons

THE Pentagon considered developing a host of non-lethal chemical weapons that would disrupt discipline and morale among enemy troops, newly declassified documents reveal.Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, the proposal says.
Other ideas included chemical weapons that attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats to troop positions, making them uninhabitable. Another was to develop a chemical that caused "severe and lasting halitosis", making it easy to identify guerrillas trying to blend in with civilians. There was also the idea of making troops' skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight.

hahaha, the gaybomb... great... i''d like to know where this was taken from, it seems... well, almost unreal. Though, i suppose if they were just having a brainstorm session and it came up, i guess it would be rejected...
Sounds like they watched too much Maxwell Smart....

They need a diahrea bomb. That would win any war.

Heh, well, as crazy as the ideas sounds, they were just ideas. And really, if they actually could make something that would do some of those things, it could lead to conflict resolution with fewer casualties for both sides. That''s not a bad thing.
I think the mental trauma caused by a ""gay bomb"" would be a bit harsh though, especially in certain cultures. Thankfully I can''t imagine it''s even remotely possible. If it was, it''d already be all over the market (you know someone would leak it for profit) and guys would be snapping it up to score with any girl they want.

The gay bomb? Brilliant. That would get leaked into the circuit scene in an eyeblink...
They need to invent something useful like a sarcasm meter.

Actually, if they made the aphrodesiac one in grenade form and marketed it to married men, they''s make enough to pay off the national debt.

Announcer:
""Saturday night and the wife think''s she''s just going to read a book and go to sleep early?""
""Frag out!"" <The man tosses a small grenade-like object into the room, a small pop and a hiss ring out. Suddenly the woman''s arm reaches out into the hallway and she pulls him into the room. The door closes>
<Fade out and then back into a post-coital scene, the male give the camera the thumbs-up>
""Thanks, (prduct name here)!""

The question isn't "Who is going to let me?" It's "Who is going to stop me?"
I don''t see why this would affect you.

First of all, you''d be busy with the point that your body doesn''t like to keep what you''re consuming for very long. It''s not like this would be a comfortable state. You''re also underestimating the dangers of diarrhea. You body gets a lot less water (and consequently salt and sugar among other things) due to the fact that the fluids ... ''leave the body the other way''. If that conditions lasts longer than just a day that it could weaken you significantly, especially in a such a demanding situation.
So, in some way such an invention would make sense, but the C weapons already available right now can do a lot more harm anyway. (And some of them also have side effects that probably include the ''feature'' discussed above.)
Can''t say I''d ever envisioned a world where ""frag out!"" would be followed by sex. Awesome.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
You miss my point, which was why would Edwin - who does not wear pants - have to worry about diarrhea? I would never underestimate the grave threat to the human race posed by diarrhea, but for Edwin, the potential dangers are slightly less.

No, but that world would be so much more awesome.

Reading the commercial for the sex-bomb from SwampYankee got me in trouble for laughing at work (a winner is you!). I got out of it by sharing the post around =) We''d like to place an order for a few cases...
Gotham City is in trouble, so I put on a rubber suit and go save innocents from psychotic men in stage makeup. It's more straightforward than you might think. - Sanjuro
With ""Diarrhea"" ""Gay"" ""sex"" and ""Frag out"" on a single thread God knows what kind of people are going to google in...
