Love Bomb and the Pink Platoon

By Ryan Gielen

***AWARD WINNER: BEST OF INDIE*** When a military experiment goes horribly wrong and turns his entire platoon gay, the deeply religious, washed-up General Newman Ginger must learn to love his platoon and himself in order to survive the spiritual, professional and actual war zone he has just entered...

The year is 1999, and a kinder, gentler army is developing non-lethal weapons to subdue enemy soldiers humanely. To avoid a court martial, General Ginger agrees to act as a test subject for one of these "soft" weapons: an aphrodisiac bomb. The bomb is supposed to sexually arouse the enemy in order to distract him on the battlefield. However, what appears to be an accidental miscalculation muddles the experiment and the bomb turns the entire makeshift platoon gay. As platoon members begin to develop mysterious side effects, the arch-Christian Secretary of Defense sends them on a suicide mission deep into the mountains of Northern Iraq. As the enemy surrounds them and warplanes descend, Ginger must choose between his new gay platoon and his past as a loyal, straight, Christian soldier.
