More details
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 was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The decision to join the armed forces is one for an individual to take, not for the Government or Parliament to decide on.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
