Rejected petition Allow people with type 1 diabetes to join the army.

I would like the government to consider what roles diabetic people could perform within the army

More details

I believe the government should take this action because, diabetic people can serve maybe not in frontline roles but nonetheless can still and are able to serve in some other roles
