"US State papers dating from 1994 released under the Freedom of Information Act reveal that, during the Gulf War, the Pentagon toyed with the idea of developing an aphrodisiac bomb that would cause enemy troops to find each other sexually irresistible. An alternative was to make enemy troops sexually attractive to stinging and biting insects and rodents. They also spent 50 years looking into a Who?Me? stink bomb that would produce smells leading enemy troops to think one of them had farted or suddenly developed bad breath."

Seriously,there's one of your mates lying in the mud with his brains blown out and you're gonna be more concerned with which bastard's got bad breath?
Nein more so than the handful of monkeys cycling around town shouting "Roger.. Roger Walker". I once got asked, "Who's Roger?!!". To which my reply was "Baby Jesus, calling Mum."
We forget, these projects have a long and elaborate legacy dating back to the fifties and sixties. The Black Projects as they are called. By those standards, the examples shown above and the Iraq War in particular come across as child's play. And most of these examples were, and are, derived by accident barring any limits on all possible outcomes. FOI Acts are a fool's playground. They only let you see what you wanted to see in the first place. There is a minefield of stuff out there.
