Dont ask dont tell

I usually do not like to post about politics or religion or anything that is serious for that matter. Today I heard a story on the radio that I thought was a gag. I did some investigation and discovered that it was not. This was reported from BBC News:
“The US military investigated building a “gay bomb”, which would make enemy soldiers “sexually irresistible” to each other, government papers say.
The plan for a so-called “love bomb” envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical that would provoke widespread homosexual behavior among troops, causing what the military called a “distasteful but completely non-lethal” blow to morale.”
It took a minute for it to set in for me too, I’ll wait. So ok, I’ll buy into for the sake of this post. We the big, bad Americans go and drop this “Gay Bomb” on some unsuspecting country. This gas releases and turns everyone homosexual. What then? While the country is in one huge circle jerk playing with one another we are going to walk in and take over? Would we be wearing “Gay Gas Masks” to filter out this chemical? If not wouldn’t our troops breathe the gas and then just join in on the orgy? What if one were already gay and breathed in the gas. Would they then all of a sudden desire the opposite sex? What about the females? Would the chemical affect them as well? If so they should bottle that shit. I could find many other uses for that besides war.
Other ideas were:
“Sting me/attack me” chemical weapon to attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats towards enemy troops.
“Another idea was to develop a chemical causing “severe and lasting halitosis”, so that enemy forces would be obvious even when they tried to blend in with civilians.”
“In a variation on that idea, researchers pondered a “Who? Me?” bomb, which would simulate flatulence in enemy ranks. However, researchers concluded that the premise for such a device was fatally flawed because “people in many areas of the world do not find fecal odor offensive, since they smell it on a regular basis”
After reading this it made me feel safe and have even more confidence in the people running our country and taking my taxes and putting them to good use!
Have a nice day
