You couldn't make it up dept. no.64: sex bomb, sex bomb, you're my sex bomb...

The only people stupider than those who proposed to the Pentagon to disable enemy fighters by gassing them with aphrodisiacs (therefore driving up one of the instincts best known for making people fight) are the homosexual activists who presented this as an attempt to make the enemy homosexual - which it was not - and dubbed it the "gay bomb"; and, of course, the moronic press agencies that picked up their rubbish. But then we know that whatever happens in the world is only relevant if it has to do with the crotch, right?

Oh, right - I hadn't thought about it from that angle. I was more the one pointing out that "sought to build" in this case actually meant that someone floated the idea, and had it shot down. This is sort of the Pentagon's job, to come up with new ways of fighting, preferrably non-lethal ways. It reminds me of

I wonder why such a thing like this would even be considered. Surely it would be far simpler, and more effective, to drop bombs/mortars with some kind of sedative/knockout gas. Such gases already exist and have been proven useful in crowd-control situations and other instances where non-lethal tactics are needed.

I was thinking it was their job to consider every possibility, no matter how hilarious those possibilities might be.

I'm sorta disappointed, though. I decided not to join the military because I thought my ideas for making lethal zombie soldiers would be shot down. :(

I think you should join the military, then. That idea rules.
