Two Definitions of Wrong
When most people say that something is wrong, they usually mean that something is not correct or morally proper.
However, in today's lingo "wrong" often gets applied to dark and twisted humor - "Dude, that joke was just wrong!"
Very rarely have I ever encountered a blog post that encompassed both the traditional and slang variations so well as this one about the Air Force's inquiry about creating a "gay bomb."
Yes, they were serious. OMG. ¶ 1:55 PM

I don't see why making the enemy temporarily into horn-dogs gay or straight is "wrong," especially if it obviates the need to kill him.
I find it doubtful that anyone has or could come up with such a device, which would presumably contain a gas which would make the enemy have a gay orgy. But if it worked, what would be wrong with that? It would of course be highly distracting to the enemy in the short term; and, at least to the extent the enemy is ideologically homophobic, it would be detrimental to his morale in the longer term.
Of course, it is easier to come up with gases which would make the enemy unconscious, or tripping, or dead, but these (or at least, the last of these) would violate international law, except when used against an army which has itself used poison gas.
