Pentagon confirms gay love bomb

From Aertel -

The US Air Force has confirmed a 1994 plan to drop a non-lethal gay love bomb on enemy troops.

A military spending watchdog group in Berkeley, California, discovered the proposal through the Freedom of Information Act and passed it on to a San Francisco television station.

The proposal by an Ohio Air Force lab was to develop a chemical that, when dropped onto the troops, made them irresistable to each other and unable to fight.

It asked for €5.5m for the programme, but was later rejected by officials.

Edit - BBC report.

These labs have hair-brained schemes quite regularly. For more, read "The men who stare at goats".

The title references one of the schemes, where a lab actually got funding for experiments to see if they could kill goats by staring at them.

The author was on The Panel a while back. Sounded like an interesting enough read. :)
