Quote:But in 1994, the US Air Force said, “Hold my beer.” Among the most preposterous ideas came when the US Air Force Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, proposed to build the “Gay Bomb,” which would make enemy combatants “sexually irresistible to one another.”

The Gay Bomb masterminds requested six years and a budget of $7.5 million to complete the project. They envisioned using an aphrodisiac chemical cocktail — employed in similar fashion to the “Devil’s Perfume” during World War I — except instead of an agonizing death, this love bomb would influence a “distasteful but completely non-lethal blow to morale.”
