Let's turn them gay!

Hey look! Instead of killing our enemies during war, some dumb fuck somewhere in the Bush administration proposed a plan (and the military researched continues to research it too!) to build a bomb to turn our enemies gay!

A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

So the military believes that the only thing on the mind of homosexuals is sex?

The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.

Your tax dollars hard at work!!

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistibly attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.

All gay people are irresistibly attracted to each other! Just like all black people are irresistibly attracted to one another, and all Jews are irresistibly attracted to one another!!!!!

"The Department of Defense is committed to identifying, researching and developing non-lethal weapons that will support our men and women in uniform," said a DOD spokesperson, who indicated that the "gay bomb" idea was quickly dismissed.

However, Hammond said the government records he obtained suggest the military gave the plan much stronger consideration than it has acknowledged.

"The truth of the matter is it would have never come to my attention if it was dismissed at the time it was proposed," he said. "In fact, the Pentagon has used it repeatedly and subsequently in an effort to promote non-lethal weapons, and in fact they submitted it to the highest scientific review body in the country for them to consider."

What a bunch of jackasses. Homosexuality is something you're born with. It's not something you choose, and it's not something that is a product of how you were raised, or circumstances you may have faced in the past. It is not a disease, you cannot cure it, and I highly doubt you can create some magic chemical to turn people gay. But, you know, don't let science get in the way of anything.
