The Gay Love Bomb. "The US military investigated building a 'gay bomb', which would make enemy soldiers 'sexually irresistible' to each other, government papers say."

Could these be delivered in the form of MRE's??? Like what we dropped on Afghanistan, perhaps gay bars?

You were my thrills, you were my pills
You dropped a bomb on me

You turned me loose, then you turned me wrong
You dropped a bomb on me, baby

The most apropos topic possible, and yet no "Sexbomb" lyrics? Here, let me help.
Don't get me wrong, ain't gonna do you no harm;
This bomb's for lovin', and you can shoot it far.
I'm your main target, come and help me ignite,
Lovestruck and holdin' you tight.

While this is a sad commentary on "military intelligence", I suppose it's better than building new death rays. Make love, not war and all that.

I think a good way to take over the world would be to genetically engineer a bacteria or parasite that dumps serotonin and other 'happy' drugs into the brain. People would be to chill to fight back.

I fail to see how making fellow soldiers sexually irresistible would compromise fighting ability, morale, cadre, or esprit-de-corps. Some of the greatest warriors in history were at least bisexual if not outright gay.
There's so much homoeroticism in the whole military experience that making all the soldiers gay would likely make them even more dangerous - if you're shooting at a soldier's buddy, you're really, really gonna piss him off. If that buddy is also a lover, you might enrage him to the point of near-invincibility.
Military "intelligence," indeed.

Isn't anyone offended by the suggestion that homosexuality can be caused by chemicals?

It's not homosexuality, it's rampant eros. I think everyone would be fucking everyone. Wouldn't want to be a camel.

Unless you think homosexuality is a learned behavior and a choice, why would you be?

No, no, not at all... They should put it in the water, like fluoride. I would also dispute that an increase in homosexuality would cause a decrease in army morale.. quite the opposite.. imagine the relief.. the Spartans were encouraged to love their fellow warriors, it was rightly thought they would not act cowardly next to a lover in battle.

Agree with Zoogleplex, who happens also to be echoing what Plato argued on the subject of homosexual lovers in the military.
Aside from that, meh - these ideas are surely just the dregs of a brainstorming exercise. Gay bomb? Fart bomb? Killer bee attracting bomb? That's exactly how brainstorming is supposed to operate: no idea is too stupid.
