You lose certain civilian rights while in active service.

Rights like?
A fair trial? Self-defense? Due-process?

My point is this: is a right that can be so lost really a right?
Now, granted, there are many things called rights which are not; but care must be taken when "lose certain rights" is at hand.

Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.

She started with the right to freely contract, and did so in order to get into the Marines. She traded her rights for privileges at that point, voluntarily. Properly stated, she had no rights at all in the Marines, of her own volition.

As I read the story she didn't lose any one of those rights, she was able exercise each one.

Some people. though, typically not here, argue that the Second Amendment applies only to soldiers. Where did they get a decoder ring that says when an article of the Bill of Rights applies to soldiers, and when one doesn’t?
