Gay Bomb Makes Love, Not War

The U.S. military might has certainly provided the funding for some fascinating and groundbreaking projects over the years. There was of course Project Manhattan that lead to the creation of the A-bomb. The Internet (http://www.switched.com/search/?invocationType=sportstab&category=ns_sports_collection&q=internet&submit=submit) is an offshoot of military research, as is GPS (http://www.switched.com/search/?invocationType=sportstab&category=ns_sports_collection&q=gps&submit=submit) and, of course, there's no shortage of really big bombs (http://www.switched.com/2007/09/13/russia-tests-father-of-all-bombs-on-september-11/). But, it's a very different sort of bomb that's recently been getting some attention. It's been revealed that, in 1994, researchers proposed the U.S. Air Force provide funding to develop a so-called "gay bomb." (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=485796&in_page_id=1965&ito=1490)
Sounding a bit like a Monty Python sketch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjbYNgIi5ss), the bomb would release some sort of chemical or gas that would create feelings of lust so strong enemy soldiers would be unable to resist each other. They'd be forced to fall to the ground and engage in ... well ... we'll let you figure that part out for yourself. Meanwhile, of course, friendly soldiers could approach the enemies without any physical threat; their opponents being rather too busy to offer any sort of defense.
So this prototype bomb turns otherwise heterosexual soldiers gay for a day, but what happens to the don't-ask-don't-tell soliders who are already gay?
