Do people who have not stormed beaches, gone to war, etc. Have a different set of privacy rights?

I understand the underlying sentiment, but I strongly dislike the notion that serving in the military de facto entitles you to a stronger say in what or how society operates.




I have an Uncle that served in the infantry division. I view that generation as a ruined group of kids that came back to the US and did the best they could. I also maybe over personalizing the issue.

I simply mean that facing the worst of humanity buys people extra space to exist in my dealings with them.

I believe we all have the same privacy rights. Some of us get the right to be eccentric in uncomfortable ways to a certain extent.
