The United States Air Force at one point considered researching using powerful aphrodisiacs to adversely affect discipline and morale in enemy units.
You read right. Aphrodisiacs.
What were they gonna do, lob Spanish Fly grenades at enemy strongholds? The actual quote reads: “One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior.” Homosexual behavior, eh? The chemical would make the soldiers’ wrists so limp, and their tongues lisp so much, that the affected troops could no longer hold their weapons or issue orders properly. Or maybe they would give away their positions by spontaneously bursting into show tunes.
No, they probably mean that the troops would start having sex with each other. If this worked, it would completely disrupt enemy morale. The awkward silence alone after the effects wore off would be devastating. No one’s looking each other in the eye. Of course our troops would be laughing their asses off so hard, they would let their own guard down.
But this was just a suggestion, right? This would never happen. Right?
