BBC - The US military investigated building a "gay bomb", which would
make enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other, government
papers say. Other weapons that never saw the light of day include one to
make soldiers obvious by their bad breath. . . The 1994 plans were for a
six-year project costing $7.5m, but they were never pursued. . . The
plans were obtained under the US Freedom of Information by the Sunshine
Project, a group which monitors research into chemical and biological
weapons.
The plan for a so-called "love bomb" envisaged an aphrodisiac chemical
that would provoke widespread homosexual behavior among troops, causing
what the military called a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow
to morale.
Scientists also reportedly considered a "sting me/attack me" chemical
weapon to attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats towards enemy
troops.
A substance to make the skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight was also
pondered.
Another idea was to develop a chemical causing "severe and lasting
halitosis", so that enemy forces would be obvious even when they tried
to blend in with civilians.
