Rejected petition Remove ALL forces from prosecution whilst serving in war Zones UNLESS they break the Geneva convention

More details

The Idea that OUR troops are sent to war including Afghanistan and are then Restricted by rules of engagement when they are risking their lives is ridiculous. We need to remove the restriction UNLESS those serving break the Geneva convention - I propose that all troops are provided with the assurance that they are free from ALL forms of prosecution whilst serving their country in combat
