Stop taking the Armed Forces for granted, and provide better pay for soldiers.

What the petition asks
For too long, UK Armed Forces have been taken for granted by politicians. Constant cuts have made it extremely difficult for soldiers to want to continue serving. A soldiers average pay is poor for the amount of work they do and needs to increase along with other incentives.
