The Air Force on Tuesday confirmed a report that in 1994 a military researcher requested $7.5 million to develop a non-lethal "love bomb" that would chemically alter the state of mind of enemy troops and make them want to have sex with each other rather than fight. Air Force spokeswoman Lt. Col. Cathy Reardon said the idea was proposed by an Air Force researcher at a lab at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas, but it was rejected by the Defense Department. Officials noted that the Air Force constantly is considering funding proposals. No money was spent, Reardon said, and no such weapons are being considered. The goal was to create a non-lethal weapon to be used against enemy troops. First reported by KPIX-TV in San Francisco, the discovery of the "gay bomb" proposal came from a Freedom of Information Act request made by Edward Hammond of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, a watchdog group that tracks military spending. As part of the military's goal of developing non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

What if the wind blows in the wrong direction?
Who used it on San Francisco?
Make love not War!! lol
Did anyone tell Al Quada it was a placebo?
Heard this a long time ago.
Accidental detonation in the San Fransisco lab scuttled the project.
Was it designated the BFU-69?
They saved a bunch of money by spending $15 dollars on the bomb that made them want to have sex with goats.
Damn. I think they tested this thing over San Francisco!
lemme guess: they tried starting with camel and goat pheremones
No funding spent, no chemicals considered, no contract let, no action taken.
It’s doubtful that such a compound exists in the first place.
What an exciting article about nothing at all.
If it did not have the emanation of a penumbra of sleazy sex it would never have made the news at all.
Did anyone tell Al Quada it was a placebo?LOL!
Every time I read this, it occurs to me it me it might backfire: imagine our guys coming across muzzies ravaging each other instead of fighting. They might just collapse in helpless laughter!
I laughed too as I typed.
Don’t Bomb- Don’t Tell?
Sure would hate to be part of the clean up operation after that. It would be more frighting then an actual firefight.
>>Heard this a long time ago.
Me too.... I don’t believe it was any big secret.
Pentagon Had Plans for ‘Gay Bomb’

The project was scrapped after the ACLU sued to force the government to provide the chemical to the general public.
BFU-69: to avoid friendly casualties, should be dropped from aircraft penetrating the enemy’s rear...
all the more reason to get homosexuals out of our military. If we were working on this, rest assured the bad guys have been too.
They did, however, seem to have developed one for making them like goats...........
Aparently a prototype was secretly detonated over Massachusetts...
Are we having fun yet ping?
Don’t wait until Friday, drop your bombs now!
/Tinfoil On
This is total nonsense. Where did that 7.5 million really go? and for what black budget project?
/Tinfoil Off
This is probably someone’s sense of humor gone bad, since it apparently was submitted thru channels and subject to (shall we say?) “discovery.
While working on a CCU in a military hospital in the early 70’s, the head Nurse submitted a proper consult channels to the Chief of Cardiology which read “why does shit stink?”. A few days later his response came back through those same channels stating “you must be living in sin, because mine doesn’t stink at all”. Just a little fun which we all enjoyed, using the forms and protocols of the Army. Of course this would probably cause them both to be tossed out today.
This gay bomb thing may well be the imprudent equivalent, and too too tantalizing to some who wish to tear at anything military these days.
fwiw, I don’t believe such a compound exists, but Lord help us if the faggot lobby ever gets its hands on it, LOL.
“Did anyone tell Al Quada it was a placebo?”
They got the goat version.
I live in the political cess pool of Illinois, I don't throw stones.
thank you very much. i coulda died happy without seeing that image.
I sure wouldn’t want to be captured by the group we just dropped it on.
[/fairy dust]
ROTFLMAO! [but what if it’s not really funny?]
Insects and animals would be at increased risk.
The research was later funded by Sigma Phi Epsilon’s rush committee and the end product was used at the famed Delta Zeta Rush Week Ball. There was no perceptible effect except on “Blue” Hamilton, who rushed for 177 yards the following Saturday against Yale and attributed his feat to “pent up aggression.” “Siggy” Jones made up with “Blue” the next week and they now have 3 children, 4 cars, 1 pool, and 2 barbecues in the Atlanta suburbs.
Chemtrails?
Chemtails.
Genius.
Well, what happens if it drops on homosexuals? Do they revert? I didn’t think of that before your post...
But, But, But,
Homosexuality isn’t taught, it’s BORN.
/sarc
Gay love bomb....Only our government could find a way...L.O.L.
And Democratic Presidential Nominating Convention....
Must have been the original live fire test site...
