Syrians to be trained by the Army and sent back to fight for their own country.

What the petition asks

Why should our own boys get involved, it's not their country
I would like to see all male refugees aged 16-50, who have fled Syria to other countries, do 6 weeks Army training in the countries they have ended up in and for the UN to supply them with arms and ammunition, and then send them back to Syria to fight for their own country, therefore avoiding the need for us to put troops on the ground. After all, these people didn't mind risking their lives to get to Europe and were fit enough to walk hundreds of miles after arriving in Europe.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
