One example of Ambulance chasing like actions.

Ireland-Afgahnistan-Irak being examples of War areas where service persons have been hounded for doing their duty.

Financial interests have caused accusations too be made too Service Persons for doing their duty, by order, refusal could mean Mutiny or Treason
Many enemies use Children and Women as a fire wall, making a problem for every commander, but the active service person should never be held responsible for collateral, nor for that (Drone Pilots)
No service person doing his duty in a war or warlike situation should ever be criminalised for serving His or Her, Queen, Her Country, and Subjects.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition calling for British servicemen and women to have legal immunity from prosecution, if that's what you would like to happen.
