    "What is the moral difference, if any, between the soldier and the civilian?"

    "The difference lies in the field of civic virtue.
    A soldier accepts responsibility for the safety of
    the body politic of which he is a member,
    defending it, if need be, with his life.
    The civilian does not."
    Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein
