I remember back in the good old 80's going to bed wondering if the bomb was gonna drop at any moment. Those were some scary days that I'm glad are behind us. However, give me a nuke dropping in my yard any day over the terrible weapons now being developed by the pentagon.
Most bizarre among the plans was one for the development of an "aphrodisiac" chemical weapon that would make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other. Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a "distasteful but completely non-lethal" blow to morale. Other ideas included chemical weapons that attract swarms of enraged wasps or angry rats to troop positions, making them uninhabitable. Another was to develop a chemical that caused "severe and lasting halitosis", making it easy to identify guerrillas trying to blend in with civilians. There was also the idea of making troops' skin unbearably sensitive to sunlight.
HOLY CRAP!
Can you imagine if you got hit by all these at once? Suddenly I'm huddled in a dark corner making out with another man, who's breath is inducing vomiting, while trying to hold off hordes of vermin! LET ME DIE!
What's next? A gas that causes the movie "Beaches" to play over and over in my head? A ray that inflicts and irresistable urge to drive a Hugo? A chemical spray that puts monkeys in charge of the government?
God help us all.
