Someone tell this general there are no "rights" associated with being a guarantor – only "obligations".

If you guarantee someone from coming to harm, or defaulting on a loan repayment, or from purchasing a faulty piece of equipment, where do your rights come into it?

"Guarantor rights" is an oxymoron, like "Turkish peace force" or "Turks of Cyprus".
