According to a report I just had the great misfortune of reading on Reuters, in 1994 the Pentagon turned down an idea to “develop an ‘aphrodisiac’ to spur homosexual activity among enemy troops.” This sort of reminds me of that other time back in the ‘60s, when the Pentagon was in college, and one of its friends tried to get a little too friendly with it. That friend shall remain nameless, but its name was the Math & Sciences Hall and it eventually eloped in Massachusetts with that little Tomb building at Yale. Luckily, the Pentagon turned it all down. And that, my friend, is why we don’t let gays in the military.
Oh, in case you were wondering, the aphrodisiac plan “called for developing chemicals affecting human behavior ‘so that discipline and morale in enemy units is adversely affected.’” Or some such bullshit. I don’t know. Personally, I’m a fan of the Freedom of Information Act, but I would’ve filed this one under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” I was much better off before I knew about this.
