Rejected petition Cancel The Scrappage Of The Royal Marines Due To Useless Budget Cuts.
The Royal Marines ever since WW2 have been a very important foremount in the Army as a frontline, quick reaction Battalion and have been all around the world with the regular army on specialist deployments, proving extremely vital on the Frontline. They are one of the finest Britain has to offer us.

But after SGT BLACKMAN was released from court over killing an unarmed Taliban fighter many people in the government have spoken about Scrapping the Marines as a whole due to recent defence cuts to more "Foreign Aid" first brought out by Mr.Cameron when it should be used for our dearest Men and Women who Sacrifice their Time, some lives for us to feel safe and secure, only for the government to do the exact opposite by threatening their jobs, that can simply cannot be considered for debate.
