When you became a Servicemember in uniform, what American rights did you sacrifice in order to protect the freedom of others?

Freedom of movement, Freedom of expression, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure. I'm sure there are more.

I do not believe any rights are sacrificed we are just taught to be more tactful of our rights.

What personal freedoms did you sacrifice in the military to protect freedoms of others?

I pretty much shelved my civil rights for the 3 years I was saving Vietnam from the Vietnamese.

I do not think that one sacrifices any rights when they don the uniform. All the rights are still there just regulated as to when and where they are exercised. As a Soldier I was able to exercise my freedom of religion and expression as long as I was careful what I said at work. In my civilian job this is no different because if I express the wrong things at work I can lose my job. I owned guns. So I wouldn't say my rights were sacrificed, but being a professional I had an obligation and a responsibility to be careful when and where I exercised them.

"Sacrifice is concept that embodies the core nature of humans. When you forego your own personal desires in order to serve the needs of another, you are living the sacrifice. That selflessness has a wonderful impact on the world, but it can also have a powerful impact on the one who sacrifices. It is only upon the full relinquishing of your ego and fear of consequences do you truly reach your own capabilities. You will often fall short in your self-driven pursuits, but if you are driven to assist another, you will far exceed your own abilities. It is a phenomena seen repeatedly in every facet of life. Those serving in the military embody it everyday." - B.M, Ph. D.

My sacrifices are inconsequential in the scheme of things much larger than me.
