A pity that the petition has included the following:
armed forces get ripped off, underpaid, treated like worthless dirt, work away from your wives husbands and children for 6 or more months at a time and to top it all off you will have no where to live after giving them 8 years of your life to the serivce , all we ask for is accomadation for the families for the hole term off the serivce being done so we can live as a family.
While the thrust of that sentence will be understood, it will be unlikely to be taken seriously due to its construction.
