The Gay Bomb!
You may laugh, but this actually happened!
During 1945 it there was a proposal to design a non lethal weapon that could be dropped, or released which would render the enemy useless, or allow them to tum on each Other. The proposals were a "halitosis bomb" , basically designed to make enemy soldiers tum against each other because of bad breath, a -sting melattack me" bomb designed to attract swarms of enraged wasps or rats towards enemy troops, a "vampire- bomb designed to make the Skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight, and a "flatulence" bomb, designed to prornote flatulence in enemy troops. But perhaps the strangest of all was the -love bomb",
But perhaps the strangest Of all was the "love bomb", commonly known as the "gay bomb" which consisted Of introducing an aphrodisiac chemical that would promote widespread homosexual behaviour amongst enemy troops. lt is perhaps understandable that towards the end of the war any proposals, no matter how far fetched they were, anything that could have prevented further bloodshed would have been welcome.
When approached the military's response was: — "A distasteful, but comp/ete/y non-lethal weapon designed to deliver a blow to enemy moralo".
But What is even more surprising is that it did not stop there, in 1994 the Wright laboratory, in Ohio were granted a contract to develop a "gay bomb", and were funded a staggering $7.5 million to fund this research. This research continued until 2007 where scientists from the Wright Laboratory won the lg Nobel Peace Prize for "instigating research and development on a Chemical weapon that will make enemy soldiers become sexually attracted to each other.
