Support for our military

[Big Mouse]

I don't normally bother with these things on the grounds that I believe the government will ignore them no matter how many signatures they get or simply have the web site suffer a 'technical failure' (as they did before on the fuel charge petition) once they get to a level that they need to take it seriously

Putting aside your views on whether we should be in Afghanistan, Iraq or any where else that our troops serve; the point is they don't get a choice! and they are getting injured, or worse, and this government is doing the bare minimum to help them. An MoD typist got over £300,000 for a repetetive strain injury to her thumb yet a paratrooper that lost his legs amongst several other injuries got a lot less.

These guys and girls need support, and if this petition goes just 1 degree towards turning the government onto that idea then it will be worth it
