Closed Remove the barriers to serving ones country

Closed on

In the UK we have the military tradition, culture and talent required to build a world class armed forces.

However, currently in the UK we place restrictions on entry to the military based on medical history, physical capacity, background and previous service.

Whilst on the outside this appears logical, an investigation of the detail yields a potential flaw with the current system.

I'm not suggesting we have a disabled military force for the sake of fairness, only that we utilise the best of our country by modernising the rules .
