Rejected petition Raise the Military Budget

In 1982, due to our high military spending, we were able to reclaim the British territory of the Falkland Islands. Nowadays, due to a lack of spending, if such an attack ever took place, it would be impossible to stop. That is why I think the military spending in the UK should be raised to 3.0% GDP.
