The New Scientist magazine/blog published a letter earlier this week that hinted at details about the Pentagon’s “gay bomb.” This chemical weapon was supposed to turn enemy combatants into “horny homosexual love machines” that would not only drop their weapons, but their pants too.
In 2001, the proposal was one of a number which the JNLWD put forward for assessment by a scientific panel at the National Academy of Sciences.
No information has been released suggesting that the proposal was taken any further. However, aphrodisiacs would fall under the US military's broad new definition of a "calmative agent", the term it has chosen for "an antipersonnel chemical that leaves the victim awake and mobile but without the will or ability to meet military objectives or carry out criminal activity".
