Respect means very different things in different cultures.
For celtic/germanic-originated cultures it means something you give freely and something you work to deserve to be given; it cannot ever be demanded or forced from someone.
Have you served in the Middle East? Doesn't mean even remotely the same thing there: to them, it means showing deference and acquiescence to the stronger. Thus it can be demanded and forced from someone via (the threat of) humiliation and abuse.
