GAY BOMB: U.S. Military wanted to create a hormone Gay Bomb to turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals. Believe?

Question

It would make the enemy more interested in sex than fighting. Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, OH asked for $7.5 million to develop such a non-lethal chemical weapon. It would contain a hormone that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals. This bomb was proposed in 1994 and dismissed. There's no bomb in production (unless Area 51 is working on one). Had you heard about this back in 1994 and wasn't it very offensive to many people? The government probably should have developed one and used it on the terrorists of the world. The wars would be a thing of the past, in time. What do you think?

Answer 1

interesting. this makes the x-files believable. it's a show i enjoy but when it comes to believing.....i don't think so.

Answer 2

I am mixed emotion about this.
1) Wars will still be there. It is just that the bombs would be non-lethal. People may not die as many as it used to be; but wars will still be there.
2) Just the fact that the bomb is non-lethal, wars may be more frequently started. If people would die in a war, supposedly, we would think twice before we people to war. If people wouldn't die in a war, then there really is not a whole lot to hold people back from going to war.
3) When our hormone levels are at the normal level, we would behave the way in an expected manner. But when our hormone levels are out of wack, like the pregnant women or those who have anxiety disorder, our emotions would fluctuate often (especially in the extreme case of anxiety disorder). One of my friends has anxiety and hormonal disorder running in her family. I can see a BIG difference in her (and her relatives') behaviors when they are not taking their medications. With all these said, the gay bomb is supposed to cause an imbalance in our hormonal levels, it is supposed to make us super horny (like those serial rapers, I guess) that we have to hump each other immediately. Despite of what others may say, I can actually see it happening. Since I have seen my friend's behavior without any medication, I can totally see how this gay bomb would work.
4) When we first invented the atomic bomb, we had severely underestimated the damages. Because of the atomic dust, to this day, we are still suffering from the damages to certain extent. So now, with the gay bomb, will the "gay dust" be spread around the world? Who knows how much damage this gay bomb would cause to humankind?

Answer 3

A throughly silly idea. The worst part is some moron probably thinks it will work. I mean researchers spent months doing a pavlovian experiment to determin if roaches have memories. I really don't want to know how much money that wasted.

Another reason this wont work is that homosexuality though shunned is fairly common among unmarried males in the middle east especially in the Arabian gulf countries. Many people turn a blind eye when young adult males have daliences with other young men as it is completely un acceptable for a woman to have sex before they are married. There are also many people in those region of the world who feel that women are for babies and men are for pleasure.

Answer 4

I think this has been covered before.

If you really want something to get up in arms about, how about how congress is MAKING the pentagon and DoD develop a VTOL aircraft? Spending millions every year in a technology that has consistently been proven to be unworkable? A move that is opposed by most Republicans?

Bah. What does it matter.

At least it isn't another Nuclear grenade launcher.

Answer 5

I have heard of this one, and would probably fall into the category of 'Mental incapacitents'

Another one of those is efectively a Halucogenic gas that makes the enemy start tripping out in a big way, but has no side effects

Answer 6

The U.S. military does think tank exercises to dream up new weapons and sees how feasable those made up weapons would be. The U.S. military also dabbled with ESP, alien flying objects and mind altering drugs.

Answer 7

Only if you come out here and admit that you don't need the GAY Bomb cause you already are.

Answer 8

actually its been done in rats.. they were injected with some hormone and they started humping male rats not female.. it could be done but what good would it do if we made the enemy gay? the middle easterners are pretty much all homosexuals.. dont believe me check it out.. in the middle east women are only for making children not sexual pleasure.. men and donkeys are for sexual pleasure..

Answer 9

is that anything like Tom Jones Sex Bomb!?

Answer 10

As long as there is no war
