We the people ask the federal government to Change an existing Administration policy:

Let Disabled Veterans Serve in the Military

Created by M.E. on August 12, 2016

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires all major businesses and corporations to hire people with disabilities. This applies to most government agencies as well, with one glaring exception—the U.S. military, which is not required to comply with the ADA.

Currently if you are wounded while serving, the only way you can remain in the military is if you heal completely from your wounds and can continue to do the job you were trained to do. We’d like to see a policy change that will insure a path of rehabilitation and retraining, if necessary, for some wounded and disabled soldiers, so many of them can still have a chance at a military career and a life of dignity. This will eventually lead to a reduction in Veteran suicides and increase in the morale among soldiers who become disabled.
