Petition Allow people to serve in the Armed Forces past 60

Stop making people leave the Armed Forces when they reach 60. Even when they are fit and able to serve, they are forced to retire purely based on their age!

More details

We believe this is unjustified age discrimination, especially when the state retirement age is past 60. It can be totally demoralising when you are forced to leave a job you love, purely because of your age.
