Pentagon reveals rejected chemical weapons
15 January 2005

THE Pentagon considered developing a host of non-lethal chemical weapons that would disrupt discipline and morale among enemy troops, newly declassified documents reveal.

Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale, the proposal says.

Other ideas included chemical weapons that attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats to troop positions, making them uninhabitable. Another was to develop a chemical that caused "severe and lasting halitosis", making it easy to identify guerrillas trying to blend in with civilians. There was also the idea of making troops' skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight.

The proposals, from the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, date from 1994. The lab sought Pentagon funding for research into what it called "harassing, annoying and 'bad guy'-identifying chemicals". The plans have been posted online by the Sunshine Project, an organisation that exposes research into chemical and biological weapons.

Spokesman Edward Hammond says it was not known if the proposed $7.5 million, six-year research plan was ever pursued.

I think this is the most telling evidence as to the state of mind of the US government. We are developing microwave guns to irritate skin, net guns to capture people, and now, the "Love Bomb." Think of all of the civilian applications of some of these ideas. You could get all of the mosquitos in your yard to hover in one area, and then turn on the flamethrower. What's YOUR best military idea that nobody has ever thought of?

Mine lies in sonics and resonant frequencies.

Dropping cases of beer in enemy camps so they get too drunk to fight.

I agree with twister. Let's do like Russia in the theater incident and gas people with the synthetic equivalent to heroin!

I'm thinking there might be a use for Britney and the like ... We'll stop the 24/7 100db Britney marathon if you surrender now

Last night in a drunken/valium haze i was talking to a friend of mine about a global destruction/every nuke in the world fired at the same time towards america kind of a scenario, and we decided that the best way to get back at the survivors would be to create an automated radio tower so strong that every radio signal on the entire planet would be taken over, and the new signal would play nothing but that "God Bless America" song.

I'd buy some of that.

That idea has already been used.

In 1989, the US military blared AC/DC music at General Manuel Noriega's compound in Panama for 2 days straight. The dictator surrendered.

It may have been only one day if it was Ashlee or Britney singing.

I would figure that AC/DC would get people into the mood for a fight. The hell TNT isnt on my "Makes Me Feel Like A Badass" mix.

A mist of glue that makes everything stick to everything else. The we could watch the slapstick live via Predator drone.

john_713 01-14-2005 12:37 PM

lol who thinks up this stuff?! Have to say its quite scary there might be chemicals that could make you 'bat for the other side' with no self control though. :S

JStrider 01-14-2005 12:57 PM

the AC/DC thing... well it would get ya fired up the first couple hours... but when your trying to sleep... it would probably interfere and start to wear on ya...

raeanna74 01-14-2005 01:09 PM

Accidentally delivering a truckload of alcohol laced with Versed.And for good measure lace the water with Versed too. For a couple hours they'll be a little out of it and won't remember who came to the camp and stole all their weapons. Imagine their leader's confusion over the incident.

jbw97361 01-14-2005 01:14 PM

Well they actually had a plastic surgery bomb to make people more attractive to each other, but it didn't work so well. They tested it out on Joan Rivers... see what happened?

skinnymofo 01-14-2005 02:35 PM

i can see george bush bombing people with the "homo" chemical and then decalring war on that country due to them having gay tendancies.
As for my idea, they could rain down Psychadelics and render people too high to fight
"Ahhh Jabeeb they are raining LSD again we must run for cover!"
"What are you talking about mustaf al'jarum? I hope they drop more i much like this"

01-14-2005 02:53 PM

skinny: The Aum Shinjuku cult from japan were actually stockpiling mescaline, LSD, and meth with the intent to crop-dust downtown Tokyo with the LSD. It didnt end up happening because they were all caught shortly after the subway gassing, though.

sadistikdreams 01-14-2005 03:46 PM

Hehe. It's like in Mystery Men. Dr. Heller's all dangerous but completely non lethal weapons. Such as: The shrinking gun, tornado in a can, the blame ray...

Tracybrian 01-14-2005 03:58 PM

See there is a non-violent solution. LSD bombs. Help the enemy see the light. The problem with that is it would work too good.

skinnymofo 01-14-2005 04:44 PM

the idea is inherently flawed now that i think about it, if people god wind of such bombs bases would start getting raided all the time and ther ewould be constant picketeering trying to get hallucinogens legal again (which isnt a bad thing but still)

Lockjaw 01-14-2005 08:14 PM

I heard about this on the radio this morning. That gay bomb would be awesome but what happens if you have a bunch of gay guys in the unit?

roderickpsu 01-14-2005 09:33 PM

Dropping in the beers is an awesome idea! :)

vorpal_rabbit 01-14-2005 09:57 PM

Hmm... Well, there could be some interesting civilian applications for that "love bomb." Think about it... set one off at one of those fundamentalist Christian 'revivals' and watch the hilarity unfold!

Soggybagel 01-14-2005 10:53 PM

Well the "love bomb" to me still is a good concept. I mean, finally an easy solution to hooking up with someone and free too.

skinnymofo 01-14-2005 10:59 PM

yeah with the love bomb if we ever go to war with people in africa we can raise the AIDS rate to 100%
