What the petition asks

Applicants who have applied and had their heart set on starting a military career with the correct attitude, fitness and skills who are turned away for, in some cases, minor or none apparent disabilities or injuries should be given more opportunities or choices.
The modern military is diverse and equal such as allowing women to fight on the front lines but the the fact that you may not be allowed to serve on the front lines or for your country in any role due to a predicted adherent or minor issue has affected the majority of applying citizens. I understand that the military is required to uphold certain standards and a minimum level of fitness, qualities and skills from it's personnel depending on the various roles. However, when a potential candidate is not given the chance to prove their usefulness, or given any chance of finding their place in the military things need to changed or at the very least looked into.
