I think that a Prime Minister, or President, or military personnel deserve respect unless they demonstrate otherwise.
I don't think it's a carte blanche level of respect but for some professions it's lost not earned, whereas for the average joe you need to earn respect before you recieve it. (Even then I'm not sold on that philosophy, but I do think that's how the world works).
