Talk:Gay Bomb

Did the 9/11 Commission investigate this? Perhaps if it had been funded in the Clinton era and dropped on Terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, 9/11 could have been prevented.

Or the fact that the bomb didn't work.Maestro 23:44, 7 October 2007 (EDT)

It would have to be field tested before being combat tested, this generally is how U.S. weapons development has traditionally operated. Rob Smith 01:06, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

That is interesting RobS. I wouldn't be surprised if that lech did cover up this. Its definately a tragedy anyway. Boru 07:39, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

I don't smell coverup at all...I smell stupid. If this "gay bomb" was a real intention, then it's another example of stupid ideas from certain elements of our armed forces, and they have done such in the past. Project Mogul was one, in which the theory was high-altitude balloons released in New Mexico could be devices to listen for Soviet stuff on the other side of the globe; the CIA's ESP experiments in the 1960's; the Sgt York anti-aircraft weapon (unlike the real York, this one couldn't aim!), and it goes on and on and on. And during this "gay bomb" thing, there was talk of loading bombs with pork fat and dropping them on the Moslem enemy; the theory behind that one would be that the Moslems would be ritually unclean as a result, lay down their arms, and immediately head for Mecca!

I think we should call the gay bomb for what it was: just another excercise in stupidity. Karajou 07:52, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

We know that gays infiltrated the military on Clinton's watch under "don't ask don't tell;" it's not surprising this idea was floated shortly thereafter. Rob Smith 12:42, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

Then it could very well be an idea used as nothing more than a tool to discredit someone. Karajou 12:50, 8 October 2007 (EDT)
