Okay, so I realize that our military is run by a bunch of homophobic assholes and I don't put a great deal of stock in their "broadness of vision." It's a combination that's a more than a little bit scary. Still, I can't believe that this is the sort of thinking is still going on. Apparently, our air force was hoping to create a bomb which would turn enemy soldiers gay. The idea seems to have been to create a chemical weapon which would cause the soldiers find each other irresistable. I suppose this means that the men would simply throw down their weapons, tear off each other's clothing, and be so busy fucking each other that they wouldn't notice when our soldiers came in and took over. Now, this is the plotline of countless gay porns, at least the part where the soldiers get, um, distracted... which makes you wonder who came up with the idea and how, (another scary thought). But the porn studios know that it's fantasy. Apparently the military don't. What I don't get is how they expected it all to work. The story linked above mentions stong aphrodisiacs, which implies that the military idea is based on the premise that if you get guys horny enough they'll become much less picky. Or, perhaps, that all soldiers are already somewhat gay. Either way, it's just plain ridiculous. And the worst thing is, these are the sorts of minds behind our present activity in Iraq. That's what's really scary.
