Pentagon planned to develop a gay sex bomb

@Talon Karrde

they shouldn’t be coercing enemy troops into gay sex. Especially since the enemy troops don’t approve of it either.

I’m not sure what the enemy’s stance is on getting a bomb dropped on their heads, but I’m assuming “approve” ain’t it, and we do that all the time.

What I don’t understand is how it would hurt morale. I mean, if everybody’s horny and there’s some big orgy, then there isn’t anyone remaining to assume a superior attitude by setting himself apart and pointing a finger.

Pucker up, buttercup. In case you haven’t stayed tuned, it is regular activity for the left to demean the credibility of a cite which doesn’t support their theme, so I was simply offering a tablespoon of the same medicine.

Put the same article in the New York Times or Washington Post and I’ll afford credibility, but until that day, wank on yourself, mate.

This is getting into milroyj territory, but anyway, here goes. Do you have anything, anything at all, which would suggest that New Scientist is not credible, and that the NYT or WP is? :dubious:

[Cheesesteak]

Dammit! Liberal’s right! Ok, Team Alpha, get to work on that Superiority Bomb. Team Beta, you hurry up on that finger pointing ray. We’ll get those bastards yet.

Ideally, you’re exactly right: Giving everyone a hot sex weekend would be a boost to morale.

But if all or most of the soldiers think homosexuality is wrong and sinful, giving them lustful thoughts for their own companions would cause massive psychological harm and probably suicides.

Or at least that’s what the people who allegedly dreamed up this device were probably thinking.

Ah, they’re 1920’s style “gay sex bombs.”

[Domokun]

They could’ve just ordered some sex sprays out of the back pages of Viz comic. Would’ve saved millions.

Yes, I am sure that engaging in some gay sex will turn these brutes into docile, soul-searching, wracked-with-shame men, just like the guys in San Quentin.

Sure there’s a link-but to what? An article pulled from the deepest, darkest anals of journalism, such that your posting it is beyond laughable-it’s pitiful. :rolleyes:

I don’t know what you’re smoking up there in Minnesota but it’s gotta be primo shit, because the straws at which you’re grasping are further and further into the land of lost left sox with every post.

This is just bizarre. The Times and Post are FAR more likely to use the New Scientist as a cite than the other way around. This isn’t World Net Daily we’re talking about.

Please tell me you’re being intentionally obtuse.

From the article:

*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.

Why do I picture 8 generals huddled in the war room while those idiots from Half Baked pipe in marijuana smoke?

Is it too late to change my user name to Gay Sex Bomb?

[Trunk]

What advantages would a gay-sex bomb have over A Nude Bomb?

Please tell me you’re being intentionally obtuse.

Excuse me? You’ll need to enlighten me as to what problem you have with what I said. I cannot discern whether I am being attacked by dick-twister from the right who thinks that homosexuality would hurt morale, or a hand-wringer from the left who presumes without thinking that I said something bad about homosexuals.

[BrotherCadfael]

This sounds more like propaganda than anything else… Can you imagine the panic that would ensue if this rumor got spread among the more fundamentalist elements of the Iraq insurgency???

[Polycarp]

It’s in the water.

[Malthus]

I notice that along with the “gay bomb” they were considering a “bad breath bomb”.

Imagine the combination - being drugged into a gay orgy, where everyone has bad breath? Horrible! :eek:

[Left_Hand_of_Dorkness]

I’m thinking about these two guys suddenly having sex and wondering if somebody set them up.

@Talon Karrde

The worst thing about this is the hypocrisy. If the government doesn’t like homosexuality, then they shouldn’t be coercing enemy troops into gay sex. Especially since the enemy troops don’t approve of it either.

This makes no sense.

How many fucking rolleyes you want with that, you wanker?

Are you sure you have any left?
