Chemical weapons designed to make the enemy homosexual

Pentagon reveals rejected chemical weapons
15 January 2005
From New Scientist Print Edition.

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 behavior 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.
The proposals, from the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, date from 1994. The lab sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals". The plans have been posted online by the Sunshine Project, an organization that exposes research into chemical and biological weapons.
Spokesman Edward Hammond says it was not known if the proposed $7.5 million, six-year research plan was ever pursued.

that's kinda strange to read. I remember reading an article years ago (At least back in the late eighties) about how the US military had "possibly" created a bio/chemical weapon and tested it successfully on a part of the population that the government considered "Expendible to society", And how this bio/chem could shorten one's lifespan and also how it could "eradicate their being"...

Once this "weapon" was tested it spread out of control and not only were those who were considered "Expendible to society" affected but those who were considered "intergral parts of society" were also unknowingly infected...

The bio/chemical weapon in question has long been rumoured to have been AIDS/HIV! For some reason the article posted above sounded ironically smiliar to that article I read...Hell, I never forgot that article because it still sounds somewhat plausible.

Yeah, I saw it replayed on TV eighty times. I considered it quite offensive to the GLBT community.

How so? It was just for shock value. I don't see how it is offensive....just as 'offensive' as what goes on during Will and Grace.

I read about this in the paper last night on my break @ work. I thought it was pretty disgusting.

In Mr. Buckingham's words..."What's the world coming to?"

I know I can't speak for the GLBT community. I don't know if it was offensive, but I think that portrayls of lesbianism as "two girls showing off and trying to turn men on" is negative. :shrug: I don't know, that was just my take.

The characters on "Will and Grace" are supposed to actually be gay or bisexual. Britney and Madonna (and Christina) just wanted to take advantage of the fact that insincere homosexual acts seem to be trendy in our times. Homosexuality is not a game, a joke, or a publicity stunt. Like heterosexuality, homosexuality should not be a trend. I don't want people to be saying "Oh yeah, the decade of 2000-2009, when it was cool to watch reality TV, sport tacky furry boots, wear 80s retro fashion, and be gay for 2 minutes." Homosexuality should not be in that category. What made all of it worse was when Britney came out and said she would never kiss a woman again unless it was Madonna. What an idiot. I just really hated that and talked to quite a few other gays who felt the same way. Perhaps we're uptight. :shrug:
