While in the Marines I was able to help a lot of people, but I was also able to view things in our county and in other countries that I never thought I would see.

Sick people that did what I witnessed them do should be locked up and the key thrown away. In other countries as well as our own I've seen people purposely infect other innocent people with diseases. In other countries girls come by to sleep with my male marines, and without them knowing it they have been infected with everything from herpes to aids and other diseases that are just known to their region of the country. It's heart breaking to have to help a young marine over to medical and then see them diagnosed with a disease that has no cure especially if it's a disease that the United States has never had on it shores before.

In our very own country, there are men and women that use the diseases that they have as weapons. They are upset and angry with themselves or the person that infected them and therefore they feel that the answer is to use their bodies to help slowly kill other innocent people. What would you do if you met someone then found out that they infected you with AIDS just because? I've seen people do it for all sorts of reasons and when there finished hundreds of people could be infected just because they have a grudge.

The mentally ill as bad as we might feel for someone that needs mental help, they too need to be under supervision that they cannot escape. Story after story is on the news about a man or a woman killing their children or their entire family sometimes self included because they needed some type of help that they weren't able to get. The signs are there most of the time and when noticed we need to take immediate action. Mentally ill people however don't necessarily have to be locked up for that long. They just need help to keep them from being a danger to themselves and others before they can join society again.

People who maliciously use themselves as weapons are people that we should have no room for in our society. They use their bodies as if it was a gun or knife and strike down those who don't know the truth about them and for that they should pay dearly. The mentally ill come with a range of extreme to minimal and should be locked away and helped based on how violent they can become. We have to keep ourselves safe and sometimes to lock away those that they may have disease is the only choice.
