Closed petition Prevent the prosecution of veterans for historical offences.

I would like the government to prevent members and former members of the armed forces from being prosecuted for alleged historical offences, sometimes decades after the events in question take place.

More details

I believe the government owe a debt of gratitude to all the people that have served in the armed forces and should protect them in every way possible.
