Make housing a priority for the armed forces. Time to help those that help

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

These men and women are expected to drop in at your beck and call and get injured and killed fighting the wars all round the world. They get injured, and medically discharged, or their time is up and what do you do for them..... little to nothing. It's wrong so wrong..
Standish hospital is both a beautiful building and on the edge of the country side where homes could be made and rehabilitation a priority.

The government needs to stop looking abroad to help, and start dealing with what is important here. Who will join up if at the end, no one cares? Look after the men and women who look after us.
