No, not the "love bombing" that Mormons and some Evangelicals do–whereby a person is so surrounded by expressions of love, affection, and friendship that they are pressured to join a religious organization.
The Pentagon apparently considered love bombing of a wholly different and more literal kind: A chemical weapon designed to induce an irresistible (and unnatural) amorous state among enemy troops and thereby disrupt their morale and operations.
And this was just one of the weird chemical weapons that was considered.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with the halitosis bad-guy marker.
‘Course, hitting them with indelible dye in water balloons might do almost as well.
I found this sentence to be particularly interesting:
“Provoking widespread homosexual behaviour among troops would cause a ‘distasteful but completely non-lethal’ blow to morale, the proposal says.”
So apparently the U.S. Government officially considers homosexual behavior to be “distasteful”?
Sodomite-activists are gonna have a heck of a time with that one!
And the project was started in 1994- during the Clinton Administration.
Interesting, no?

Great. Now I’m going to have nightmares tonight about the Iraqi army breaking out into song and dance.
