You thought wars were bad enough, as being legal forms of killing the ‘enemy’, but the Pentagon released documents under the Freedom of Information, that gave new ‘edge’ to the old concepts. It was confirmed that in 1994 consideration was given to producing non-lethal chemical weapons, by the Wright Laboratory, at Ohio Air Force Base, for a cost of $US7.5 million.  Weapons that specifically targeted human behavior.

This information blows the mind. Or it begs the question, is this a Blue Moon Opportunity of the weird kind giving a new meaning to the old saying: ‘Make love not war’.

Imagine: A plane zooms over the killing zone at around a 10,000 feet. Shortly after, some of the soldiers on the ground, wipe some moisture off their face. They wonder if it is the warning of an incoming rain storm, but the skies are cloudless. Caught back to the action, as they fight for their lives, they give it no more thought.
The fighting continues to intensify until all of a sudden there is an unearthly silence. One by one the soldiers discard their weapons on the ground. Unbelievably first one soldier then another turns away from the killing ground and begins chatting up some of his mates. Out of the dust of the battle, soldiers from the opposing side appear to be doing the same thing. Before long, a full blown uncontrollable gay party has broken out across the battle field, as enemies join together in ‘no-man’s land’. Much later, the soldiers would learn they had been the recipients of an overdose of strong aphrodisiacs through the means of a ‘Gay Bomb’.

One has to ask, how long would it take for the effects of such a bomb to wear off. We are pleased to be able to report, the idea was dismissed. Other unusual weapons that have been looked at are: invisibility cloaks, killing by mind-power, besides a weapon that would attract annoying creatures to the enemy positions, such as biting bugs, rodents and ‘larger animals’.

All this in the name of assisting the men and women in uniform. With that kind of help, who needs enemies? After all, it seems that fact is stranger than fiction.

It’s time now to take a quick look at a genuine Blue Moon Opportunity.
