Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

There is apparently no limit to the idiocy of the U.S. military as this story via a CBS affiliate proves. http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_159222541.html. I definitely wonder what kind of drugs these folks were taking. Here's a portion of the story:

As part of a military effort to develop 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.

"The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents."The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soldiers would become gay," explained Hammond.

Daddy Dobson must be having a stroke. He wants to rid the world of gays and here's the U.S. military trying to create more. Steve Ralls of Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), said "It is a homophobic and delusional proposition for the Pentagon to assume a gay opponent is any less formidable than a straight one."

I guess these people don't know their history. The Sacred Band of Thebes - a brigade of male lovers - was used to strengthen the Thebean line and never defeated until they clashed with Alexander the Great - another lover of other men - at the Battle of Chaeronea and died to the last man rather than surrender. A memorial to the Sacred Band of Thebes still stands at Chaeronea, marking the communal grave in which they were burried. Philip II of Macedon erected the tribute to commemorate the bravery of the conquered batallion.
