The Pentagon looks into gay weapons

[Iz Man]

hahaha.. girls being effective fighters.. HAHA! good one man.

I was wondering how long it would take for this to tangent into the B.S. policy of women serving alongside men in combat....

Because they get in the way of all the gayness?

[b.k. barunt]

Well so far they've deterred me from it.

To quote Newt Gingrich: "They get infections."

gay bomb? i think considering the women in the army, i think bi-bomb would be more appropriate.

It was being develped by the USA not for it.

America isn't the only country with women in the army, idiot!!!

You are suggesting the Iraqi forces like those of most Islamic cultures have a pretty good mix of genders?

Edit: Even though it's quoted for the record, I somehow made up a strange word in my haste. I changed it out here anyhow.

He's got ya there!

We might have to use it for the Caucasians, if we can't use Omega Force*.

*Obscure?

[b.k. barunt]

Why do we need a gay bomb? Send them Tammy Faye Baker, or better yet, send them Chuck Norris made up like Tammy Faye. Then send them gay news crews to surrender to.

[MeDeFe]

Omega Force*.

*Obscure?

Yes

[2dimes]

Omega Force*.

*Obscure?

Yes

I've got two here.

A video game from like 1978 and a television series from sometime near then.

[vtmarik]

Omega Force*.

*Obscure?

Yes

Very much so.

[Jenos Ridan]

Have you seen Fail-Safe from 1964? Very good movie based on almost exactly that theme.

Heard that it had no theme music. I don't think it needs one, though. Anyway, one more film I need to see.

I didn't mean theme as in musical theme, I was referring to what you said about just one failure.

I know. Hence why even while the cold war might be over, we aren't out of the woods yet.

Canadian Bacon, not a cultural reference point. Got it. Funny movie, though.

Read your history Iz. Ever hear of Boudica? How 'bout that lady in the Book of Judges?

But still, nobody wants their daughter, sister, aunt, wife and/or mother to be violated by a bunch of horny enemy grunts.

That depends entirely on the quality of the grunts

Boadicea. There's always the exception.
I'm no Theologian, nor have I read the Bible front to back, but isn't the story of Samson in Judges?
That was one of my favorites.

And one of the most annoying ones EVER. Bible fans take this as truth yet can't believe he story of Heracles.

Understood. While I consider myself a Christian (raised Lutheran), I also am a realist.
Personally, I look at the Bible as a "why" things happen, not "what exactly" happened. IMHO, one cannot dismiss science, it defies logic.
That being said, I don't know why you'd consider the story of Samson "annoying". I think it has all the makings for a great movie:
Big, strong, invincable dude who kicks major ass, betrayed by a woman (go figure ), gets his eyes gouged out, then literally brings down the house to destroy everyone.
I mean, c'mon, wouldn't that be cool on the big screen?

Already a movie - I spy. Eddie Murphy is Sampson.

The reason I hate it is because of its clicheosity.

Eddie Murphy is lame.

Samson was in the Book of Judges. So was Debra, a prophetess-general.

And the Ancient Celts (ie: pre-Roman) commanly sent married couples into battle, the wife fought along side the husband.

[MeDeFe]

Are you sure you don't mean "against"?

[heavycola]

Actually her name is spelled Boudica or Boudicca. Boadicea is out-of-date.

whatever.
It was how her name was originally spelled, and how she was referred to by the Romans.
Who really cares?

this weapon could change war as we know it.
