Gotta love those military minds!

How about a chemical that would turn enemy soldiers into Americans? :p

Is there a chemical that:

1. Causes one to gain 150lbs,
2. Drops the IQ 30 points, and;
3. Makes most of one's teeth drop out?

;)

This is a really bad idea and would likely result in an even more determined enemy because

<drum roll, cymbal>

they wouldn't want to leave their buddy's behind.



Thank you, thank you. You're a great audience. I'll be playing the Catskills next week! Try the buffet...

Well, if you had to have a stockpile of something sitting around, what would you rather it be? Biological weapons, or a little something like this? Of course, that could explain the gays in the military situation. :eek: ;)
 
If you want to see another example of 'outside the box' military thinking, do a google search on "bat bomb."

A large hollow bomb shell filled with thousands of bats, each with its own little timed incindiary bomb. It was to open up over a city. Then the little bats would fly down, and nestle up in the eaves of buildings. That is, until it's bomb went off, and burned down the building.
 
Donovan mentioned the Bat bombs in his book too. As I recall, it was seriously considered until someone tried to address the problem of obtaining sufficiently large numbers of bats.... Pesky critters might be hard to stuff into the bomb bay as well.

Although we see dolphins being used by the navy for search/rescue and such, I believe there were plans to use em' as actual weapons, either as living torpedoes or to plant limpet-type mines.

Holy Batbombs! This reminds me of a story I read somewhere; during WWII the Russians used Pavlovian conditioning to train dogs to associate food with the underside of tanks, the dogs would have explosive devices strapped to their backs which would detonate on contact with the metalic hull of the tank, so far so good. Only problem was that the mutts only associated the underside of Russian tanks with a tasty treat....... :D .
I don't know if this is true or not. If it ain't it ought to be!! :D

Those aren't dolphins. They're friggin' sharks with friggin' lasers.

:D

Maybe they could drop a bomb to turn all the soldiers into knife knerds, then they would spend all their time on the different forums reading about knives, bat bombs, and maxpedition murses. Then the soldiers would be so busy talking knives to each other and shaving their forearms that they wouldn't have time to fight. They would be sharpening their bayonets so they could compete chopping soft drink cans in half and cutting free hanging rope. It could even be a morale killer when they all realize that none of them have a Sebenza or Emmerson CQC6.

Such schemes go back to WWII, at least. I know there was talk in Brit intelligence circles of giving Hitler hormones of some sort to drive him "completely" over the edge....

In Bill Donovan's book on the OSS, he mentions a device which was supposed to shoot a spray of chemical that smelled like S#+t. Literally, feces.
The idea was that the Japanese were intensely private about their bathroom habits, and being "unclean" was a big social no-no. The idea was in occupied areas for some little resistance fighter to sereptitiously squirt smelly-bad on some Japanese officer's trousers, causing him to "loose face".

Actually, it was to specifically resemble the odor of Occidental poo. The Western diet produces poo that is/was considered by the Japanese to be particularly offensive.
Think it came in a tube- like toothpaste.

I read a book by a fellow who spent a large part of WW2 behind enemy lines in New Guinea, reporting japanese troop movements and organising local resistance. They would vacate an area when they heard the japanese troops were on their way. When they returned to the area a few days later they would have to spend a few days cleaning it up as the Japanese soldiers would not bother to wander off into the bush to take a dump and would just do it right next to where they were sleeping :barf: . Little steaming piles everywhere - kind of destroys that myth I'm afraid. :)

That gay bomb could seriously backfire, I'm thinking here of the Spartans, who had an army well known for its, uh, close "camerarderie". They didn't give too bad an account of themselves at Thermopylae :D .
On the other hand, what it you dropped all these weapons at once? who would want to run the risk of being captured by an army of gay drug addicts with bad breath who are probably really pissed off with the killer bees and crazed rats. :eek:

On behalf of the Lycedaemonean Chamber of Commerce, I protest. Thebes, rather than Sparta, had the corps of lovers who fought back-to-back. IIRC, they were annihilated by Alexander, but not out of homophobia (He was a notable switch-hitter.).
