The "right" to serve in the US military.

I keep hearing special interest groups and people discussion their issues talk about some "right" to serve in the US Military. The fact is, there is no such right for anyone. The people who talk about such "rights" seem to think those rights only belong to specific people. However, they don't seem to respect the supposed "right" for anyone else. Some things disqualify people from serving all together, while other things are allowed, but disqualify people from specific areas of the military. If you are overweight, have certain disabilities or medical history, or are red/green colorblind, you can't join. If you are too young, too old, or have too many kids, you can't join. If you can't pass the physical training test by the end of basic training, you can't serve. If you gain weight beyond set limits, you can't continue to serve. So are the rights of people who fall under these conditions being violated? The answer is NO, because no one has the right to serve in the US military.. even people who are already serving.
