Operation Raging Queen

From the San Francisco/Berkeley CBS affiliate website:

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently [sic] rejected, building [a] so-called "Gay Bomb...."

[Said Sunshine Project's Edward Hammond,] "The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soliders [sic] to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably [sic] attractive to one another...."

The Enchantress says the guys who cooked this one up must have wound up getting a gig as writers on the Austin Powers franchise. If so, I suppose the "gay bomb" idea didn't make it into any of the films only because it was just so over-the-top.
