What the petition asks

More Veterans and serving men and women killed them selves in 2012 than were lost during the Afghan war.
The facts speak for them selves. The deaths are continuing to rise and the government and parliament must make the forming of this force a priority .More Falkland veterans have killed them selves than were actually killed during the Conflict in 1982.
We demand an immediate force of Veterans and professional people be made into a new force which will be given priority, to help and stop our veterans and serving forces killing them selves.
