Military Lab Proposed Gay-Aphrodisiac Chemical Weapon

Couldn't resist posting this. That's the thing about military spending, you just can't make up stuff anywhere near as wierd as the truth.

Thanks to a FOIA request from the Sunshine Project, a fascinating document has now come to light. In June 1994, the US Air Force Wright Laboratory wrote a proposal titled "Harassing, Annoying, and 'Bad Guy' Identifying Chemicals." While listing the categories of chemical weapons they planned to develop, the military scientists wrote:

Chemicals that effect [sic] human behavior so that discipline and morale in enemy units is adversely effected [sic]. One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior.

The Air Force Lab was quite serious about the proposal, listing a timetable and estimate of expenses for the overall project.

Total cost through fiscal year 2000: $7.5 million

Having enemy soldiers throw down their guns and start humping each other: Priceless


The document is here [PDF format]

Other documents about the US "non-lethal" weapons program are here

found down the memoryhole.

how do you suppose they proposed the enemy to take their wonder drugs lol?

Drop em out of planes disguised as M&M's?

Sevoflurane: Generaly chemical wepons are so pervasive in an environment that special protective clothing is worn. Maybe some sort of antidote was planned for development as well?

I find it all very amusing, though it also may also sugest a serious homophobic culture in the armed forces though =(

I would love to hear of two armies throwing down weapons and boneing one another before settling down to sort out thier differences in a more peacefull manner though. ha

Oh my god! You caught the ghey!!!! Quick, take this antidote before you donkey punch me!


I hope there isn't an antidote, or hardline fathers will be slipping their queer sons a mickey to make them "normal" again.

Didn't the Greeks encourage such behavior because it strengthened morale? You know the old addage; he wanted to retreat, but just couldn't leave his buddy's behind

Also reminds me of the eComic "The Spiders"

U.S. robot plane drops water bags to Al Qaeda members under the influence of MDMA gas.
