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.
GET THE BIZARRE STORY.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with the halitosis bad-guy marker.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

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.
