Secret Weapons

The Pentagon has been thinking outside the box:

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, the proposal says.

Must...resist...Andrew Sullivan joke (Did the author of this article read what he wrote out loud?!) The article continues:

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.

Imagine sharing your foxhole with the bad-breathed, horny guy. Well, actually this already exists; it's called jail. Plus the rats, minus the wasps.
