Biosecurity

6 deadly bioweapons the US Army has faced since 1969

Few things are more frightening as a weapon than infectious diseases. The idea of a creeping, invisible death that will probably make you bleed from places you'd rather not is much worse than the idea of getting shot.

In this veteran's opinion, anyway.

In any case, it's a good thing the US Army has its Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases to counteract the development or weaponization of superbugs and viruses for use against the United States.

Since the 1960s, USAMRIID has been on the front lines of disease research and testing in order to keep the communists, terrorists, Mother Nature or anyone else from using biological weapons against America and its allies.
